I’m pretty sure Dyson killed these themselves the moment they turned these from concept to product.

That and Dyson might just be preemptively killing it in the wake of the FTC forcing Razer to refund buyers of its smart mask

Almost 7 thousand people bought one?! That's crazy, it was a meme product!

It wasn’t being marketed and sold as a meme product. It was being marketed and sold as critical safety equipment.

On top of that, it was being sold during a pandemic when such equipment was being used continuously by large segments of the population.

It shouldn’t be surprising that large numbers of people bought it; the company selling it lied to those people to trick them into buying it.
