The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recommended that all people over age two wear masks when in public. Now Old Navy is adding nonmedical-grade face masks to its lineup of products on their website. The reusable cloth masks will come in packs of five for both adults and kids, and in assorted surprise patterns made with excess fabrics from other products as a way to sustainably source the materials.
In addition to making affordable masks available for customers to buy, Old Navy is making a donation of 50,000 masks to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. The masks are expected to be ready to ship June 7.
*Editor’s Note: According to the CDC, children under age 2, or anyone who has trouble breathing, is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance should not use a cloth face covering.
