I've actually been thinking about writing a story about someone who sells protective masks. The thing is, the narrator is deliberately contaminating most of the masks and filters with a very strong poison. Regardless of whether they wear the masks (which they presumably would do at least once to make sure they fit properly) or just keep them in storage in their houses, those who buy the masks succumb to paranoia and death (either from suffering cardiac arrest/respiratory failure or from being driven to commit murder-suicide due to paranoia). This in turn creates fear, causing more people to buy masks, and the cycle continues. The narrator does not care at all about the loss of life, instead relishing in the profits to be made. It would be up to the reader to find an interpretation.

On a lighter note, a couple years ago The Late Show with David Letterman had a segment called "Recalled Toys". Though there have been a number of recalled and otherwise questionable toys, these were all made-up for the show. Letterman explained, "It was found that not all adult activities were desirable for children, leading to the recall of the My First Hairpiece." He then showed a cardboard cut-out of a smiling baby's head with a little toupee on top.
