Just recently, a gang in Jiangsu bought empty bottles of big-name cosmetics, diluted them with genuine and pirated materials, then refilled them into empty bottles for sale, and sold them at low prices on the pretext that they were produced in different places. , used this to deceive consumers, and within a few years, sales reached 31 million yuan.

We need to know that in this matter, the group first violated the "Consumer Rights Protection Law of the People's Republic of China". For example, the group diluted and filled the product with formal and pirated materials. into the genuine empty bottles, but they told consumers that the origin of the cosmetics is different. Therefore, in principle, it is using fake and shoddy products to deceive consumers, infringing on consumers' right to know, and because fake and shoddy products must not meet the national commodity standards Safety regulations, therefore may infringe on consumers' rights to safety and fair trade, and fail to comply with Article 20 of the Protection Act.

Operators shall provide true and comprehensive information to consumers regarding the quality, performance, usage, validity period, etc. of goods or services, and shall not make false or misleading publicity.

At the same time, using counterfeit and shoddy products but selling them under genuine brands, no matter what the price, also infringes on the rights and interests of genuine merchants and damages the interests and reputation of merchants’ products to a certain extent, thus violating Article 213 of my country’s Criminal Law, which is the crime of counterfeiting registered trademarks, is described in this way.

The crime of counterfeiting registered trademarks refers to serious acts that violate national trademark management regulations and use the same trademark as the registered trademark on the same goods or services without the permission of the registered trademark owner.

It can be seen that in our daily life, if we encounter a merchant selling a product at a price much higher than the genuine product, we should not have the mentality of picking up a bargain, but should be wary of whether the other party is selling it. Pirated products make small profits but quick turnover. You can ask the seller for the genuine purchase bill and detailed introduction of the product to ensure that your own interests are not infringed.
