Counterfeit Petzl (Chinese)

[b101uk]

Its worth noting that counterfeit products sometimes replace legitimate products during trans-shipping, so what started out as a legitimate official shipment can and dose end up as a mix of legitimate and counterfeit products so end up in “official” supply chains/distributors due to the lack of security/bonding.

 

The same has happened with bearings in the past and as stated medicines besides all the trivial counterfeit products.

 

Also it has been know for legitimate but faulty products to be claimed as counterfeit by some less scrupulous companies wishing to avoid compensation.

Whatever next? Food?

 

that’s been done years ago, the last big food related one was baby milk which killed quite a few baby’s and made many more very ill, though that was less to do with counterfeiting and more to do with putting the wrong chemical in the milk to save money.

 

The company owners and a few others were put to death.

I meant Chinese food!

 

That is worrying though.

Does this mean we cant buy electricity now, now owned by a Chinese company? I wonder if they fake that too?

 

Ill stick with lectric from Hong Kong ! EDF was Sold to Honk Kong bilionare !

 

Around 170,000 miles of electrical network covering London, the South East and eastern England was sold by France's EDF today in a deal worth £5.8 billion.

 

The UK's biggest electricity network is to be acquired by infrastructure fund Cheung Kong, which is controlled by Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing and is the current owner of UK distribution firm Northern Gas Networks.

 

The deal price, which includes debt, is higher than expected after Cheung Kong and its partner Hong Kong Electric Holdings reportedly outbid funds such as the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and Australia's Macquarie.
