NEW CHILD SIZES AVAILABLE

With children going back to school we have created child sized face shields. Face shields are great in that they are less constricting and don't block the sight of our faces like masks do. This helps in verbal and non-verbal communication. Face shields also help protect the eyes and help keep people from touching their faces to reduce contact transmission from touching contaminated surfaces.

Child size large is designed for 10 to 15 year olds. This is relative sizing. So if they are approaching the size of an average adult, then purchase an adult sized shield.

Child size medium is designed for 5 to 10 year olds.

Each unit is sanitized and individually poly-bagged.

Dimensions of each Face Shield:

PLEASE NOTE:

Toast is a small boutique manufacturer that has retooled to help fight coronavirus and protect our health care workers. We have tooled up quickly to meet an overwhelming shortage of PPE products. We have done everything possible in a short amount of time to make this mask long lasting, comfortable and washable.

Recent articles and studies are showing that face shields can be as effective as face masks in protecting the user from Covid-19. We can not claim that efficacy but here are some articles worth checking out:

Please note that this mask is not certified by FDA or OSHA.  

A FEW NOTES ON FDA CERTIFICATION

The most recent FDA guidance on medical face shields allows these to be purchased for medical use. We are following the guidelines for labeling and material flammability. Each shield is individually labeled as required.

The FDA's most recent (April 2020) guidance can be found here: https://www.fda.gov/media/136449/download

Regarding the use of Face Shields intended for Medical Purpose:

"To help foster the availability of equipment that might offer some benefit to health care providers and the general public during the COVID-19 outbreak, for the duration of the public health emergency, FDA does not intend to object to the distribution and use of face shields that are intended for a medical purpose (whether used by medical personnel or the general public), without compliance with the following regulatory requirements where the face shield does not create an undue risk in light of the public health emergency..."

Then they list the requirement that the product includes:

1- Labeling of it as a face shield and list the body contacting materials.

2- The product does not contain materials that will cause flammability.

3- That the product is not intended for any use in a way that would create undue risk (no labeling of it as antiviral protection).

Our face shields qualify for these criteria and should be deemed acceptable use at this time.
