After multiple Twitter users criticised her, Milano replied saying there was a carbon filter inside the mask. Sharing a photo of Carbon filter layers available for purchase on Amazon, she stated that that the filter makes it ‘totally safe’.

"Mask has a carbon filter in it. So, yes, it might be crochet but totally safe. #WearAMask," she wrote.
