Feds Confiscate 1,200 Counterfeit MLB, Giants Paraphernalia
Federal agents announced Monday that their agency has confiscated about 1,200 hats, T-shirts and other Giants paraphernalia that they say are Major League Baseball counterfeit knockoffs. Had the goods been genuine, officials said they would have sold for more than $25,000. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations took these items during the first two World Series Games when the Giants played the Tigers at AT&T Park in San Francisco. Last year, intellectual property rights enforcement by HSI and U.S. Customs and Border Protection led to more than 24,000 seizures – a 24-percent increase compared to the previous year. The seized goods had a total value of more than $1.1 billion, based upon the manufacturer’s suggested retail price had the products been legitimate.
