How do you know non-counterfeit product is safe?


Generally, testing, certificates, and legal culpability if something goes wrong. But if you buy a fake there is no one you can sue.


More like you can get $5 in the class action lawsuit settlement, after 5 years :)


GP appears to be claiming people can tell whether a counterfeit is unsafe. I'm curious how they think that's possible.


well maybe that comment was to diverge public opinion on "anti-counterfeit" here...

the main discussion here was about chinese ecommerce (temu, aliexpress) selling counterfeit fake products...

and this guy shows up saying "products are unsafe!"

well that pattern is a bit... too obvious to me
