Helping consumers identify counterfeit products

摘要

The counterfeit product industry is an exploding $700 billion criminal industry with little information or protection available to consumers. Counterfeit goods, mainly from China, have become as profitable for Asia's criminal gangs as illegal drug trafficking, says a United Nations report. However, counterfeiters continue to pump counterfeit auto parts, fashion accessories, heath care items, pet supplies, and sporting goods into a market already saturated with fake Rolex watches and designer handbags.
