I genuinely don’t see the problem.

I live in CA. I can go to the store and buy a box fan, and I can buy them online and cheaply. I can buy little clips for holding filters on box fans. I can buy MERV 13 filters at any hardware store or online, and the ones in store are sold at competitive prices and are from real brands that aren’t making up the specs. I can buy actual air purifiers from many vendors, including IKEA, which sells genuinely excellent purifiers.

So what if I can’t buy that hilariously overpriced LASKO kit? I dislike nonsensical CA regulations about as much as anyone else, but this example is silly. I can spend less money to buy a LASKO box fan, a nice set of clips to hold a filter on, and a better filter. Although Amazon is really not a fantastic place to buy just one or two filters — Home Depot or ACE is better.
