Counterfeit goods easily available, but not always easy to spot
As the world has grown smaller, more and more foreign-made goods are hitting our shores. Among them, a flood of fakes, fueled in part by the Internet and the ease with which we can buy products directly.
Last year, US law enforcement agencies shut down nearly 30,000 websites that were illegally selling counterfeit merchandise online. Not only do fakes cost US businesses as much as $250 billion in lost trade annually, but many are also downright dangerous.
