Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) is calling on U.S. companies and government agencies to stop buying personal protective equipment (PPE) sourced or produced in China.

Reliance on China for products to protect American citizens poses a risk to U.S. national security, Lynch said at a press conference in Boston on March 30.
