WELCOME TO THE ERA OF FAKE PRODUCTS ON
AMAZON!
The Rise Of Counterfeit Sex Toys
And Other Phony Products Sold On Amazon
Have Been Swift—And Have Largely Gone
Unnoticed By Many Shoppers. The Problem
Is Extensive. Most People Don’t Realize
This, An Awful Lot Of Them Are Peddling
Fakes.
A Major Wall Street Journal
Investigation Recently Revealed That
Amazon Has Listed “Thousands Of Banned,
Unsafe, Or Mislabeled Products,” From
Dangerous Children’s Products To
Electronics To Sex Toys With Fake
Certifications
A New Report Has Found That Five
Major Online Retailers — Including
Amazon, Walmart, And Ebay — Sold Fake
Products That Can Be Harmful To Your
Health.
Of The 47 Products Investigators
Bought, Which Ranged From Nike Air
Jordan Shoes To Urban Decay Makeup, 20
Were Counterfeit.
Not Only Are Consumers Being
Duped, They’re Being Exposed To
Potentially Dangerous Materials, mostly
in Sex Toy Sales.
Sometimes, The Telltale Sign Of A
Fake A Product Is A Fake Review and
PRICE Sold. Just Because An Item Has
Five-star Ratings Doesn’t Mean It’s
Authentic. On The Contrary, A High
Number Of Positive Reviews Can Be A Red
Flag.
Don’t Be Fooled By A “Verified
Purchased” Tag On Amazon — While It
Helps Establish Credibility, Sellers
Cheat The System By Hiring Businesses To
Create Dummy Accounts, Purchase
Products, And Write A Stellar Review.
Amazon Has A Counterfeit Problem
The Company Is Facing Multiple
Lawsuits From Brands Who Say It Does Not
Do Enough To Prevent Fakes From Being
Listed On Its Website.
The
Counterfeit Problem Clearly
Isn’t Going To Fade Away. In
Fact, It Appears To Be
Worsening, Which Could
Eventually Cost Amazon Some
Big Bucks.
Amazon Spent
More Than $400 Million In
2018 To Combat Fakes
