How to avoid counterfeit and unsafe products online : Life Kit
How to avoid counterfeit and unsafe products online Nearly 70 percent of people were deceived into buying a counterfeit product online at least once last year, according to research from Michigan State University. And while we're talking mainly about counterfeits, which are fake versions of some brand's product, the advice could also help you avoid unsafe or illegitimate products in general. They may think it's something totally different because they naively thought that the product that they bought online was safe, like it would have been if they'd purchased it in a store. I think what's so scary about personal care products is that you might not know that it's a counterfeit, and you're just rubbing this other substance on your scalp or ingesting this thing that you think is food, but it's actually - I don't know. So there's no way to be able to, you know, 100% say with certainty, like, I know this is the authentic product that I just bought from a third-party seller.
