Face mask "exemption" cards are fakes, feds warn

"Wearing a face mask posses a mental and/or physical risk to me. Under the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), I am not required to disclose my condition to you," states the card, which misspells "poses" and incorrectly names the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The ADA's official website also blasted the cards as "fraudulent."

Coronavirus: Face mask exemption cards and other US claims fact-checked

The cards for sale state that "under the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), I am not required to disclose my condition to you".

One version includes a Justice Department seal and a link to the "Freedom to Breathe Agency". The cards warn that businesses could be reported to this so-called agency. But the cards are not genuine.

An official government statement said: "These cards do not carry the force of law. The 'Freedom to Breathe Agency,' or FTBA,' is not a government agency."
