Before Covid, I had a perfectly symmetrical face and head...

until I started wearing a KN95 face mask, which tugged on my ears
on both sides and pulled them way out of line at right angles to
my skull.
Do I have a product-liability case now? I look like Dumbo and
I can't even fly.

Depends if you looked like that before. :)

N95 masks are made in the U.S. and do not tug on ears.
KN95 masks come from China and use ear loop straps.

The majority of imported KN95 masks do not meet
the U.S. NIOSH N95 standard.

So buy N95 masks. It's the patriotic thing to do,
AND it will protect your ears (and is safer).

(Yesterday, while grocery shopping, I saw someone
who had stunted ears. Probably born, but with him
wearing a mask with ear straps, it looked as if
exhaustive wearing of the mask has produced this.)

We can't buy N95s, they're reserved for health care personnel.

I forget where you post from, but N95s are available here (US) by
ordering online at $5.95 each and an order of 10 masks.

While the N95s are better, I prefer the KN95s because they *do* hook
over the ears. The N95s (I've seen for sale) have two bands that go
over the head. That's awkward with glasses to take on and off.

I wear a mask only when going into a store or building or when around
enough people to concern me, so I put in on for a short time.

If you have hearing aids, the over the ear ones tend to dislodge them when
you take the mask off

Your links are to cloth masks, not N95 or KN95s. Cloth masks are much
lower on the list of approved mask types.

Cloth masks are sold at just about every store in the US that sells
general merchandise.

I don't know about the Netherlands, but what's the point of
better-looking masks e.g. in Germany? Since last week cloth masks are
not allowed in shops or on public transport and I hardly ever need a
mask anywhere else, as I don't have to go to crowded streets in the city
centre.

Even getting the KN95's is difficult.
