Summary
Exhibit B in 3M Company v. TAC2 Global, Case 8:20-cv-01003-MSS-CPT, filed April 30, 2020 as Document 1-2. The ten-page exhibit reproduces 3M's United States web page on its COVID-19 response. The page states that 3M doubled its global N95 respirator output to nearly 100 million per month, sent 10 million N95 respirators to U.S. healthcare facilities in the last seven days of March 2020, and has not increased the prices it charges for 3M respirators. It describes 3M's work with law enforcement and e-commerce sites against price gouging, fraud and counterfeiting, a fraud hotline, and a recommendation to buy only from authorized distributors. The page also lists 3M news items dated from March 31, 2020 to April 03, 2020 and points readers to public-health guidance on the virus.
