Razer is best known for its gaming-centric computer products, but it has also been making captions for some of its further unorthodox ideas. One, in particular, did n’t have anything to do with gaming directly but was further timely and applicable than any of its other products. Unlike its once conception designs, Project Hazel went on to come the Zephyr mask due to popular demand. Ironically, its fashionability is now waning because of Razer’s deceiving and potentially dangerous marketing.
Verity be told, it did sound too good to be true that the Razer Zephyr would qualify as an N95 mask. The specialized wording firstly used for the product was that the mask’s interchangeable pollutants are “ N95 grade.” The Zephyr’s RGB lights and cyberpunk vibe, meanwhile, are the hooks to roll in gamers and tech suckers likewise Unfortunately, that wording has come problematic and is now causing Razer some PR headaches. Anyhow of how precisely articulated it is, some people will interpret “ N95 grade” as simply “ N95” and anticipate Zephyr to meet those protection norms. In specialized, medical, and indeed legal terms, still, Razer is walking a veritably thin line between marketing and deceiving consumers.
The company is easily apprehensive of these enterprises because, as reported by PCMag, it lately streamlined its “ Science Behind” runner to remove nearly all references to N95 pollutants. In fact, the runner now mentions that the Zephyr and Zephyr Pro aren’t N95 masks and shouldn’t be used in settings where these high- quality medical masks are demanded. The runner likewise now says that Razer took guidance from nonsupervisory agencies, leaving out any recrimination that the masks are certified at all.
The problem is that this change of wording comes months after the Razer Zephyr hit hit the request. Although it’s debatable whether the pollutants do give some position of protection, the reality is the product does n’t go the protection the company had announced. While it’s questionable whether anyone will actually risk using this gaming-themed mask in clinical and artificial settings, it does n’t vindicate Razer of any guilt for using terms that could mislead consumers, also underdelivering on those claims.
Still changing its words away, Razer has yet to respond to the unforeseen Volte-face in people’s assessment of the Zephyr mask. While it was preliminarily largely regarded for mixing safety and design, the mask is snappily getting yet another yarn on how some companies play with words in pursuit of a profit.
