I looked at the critical reviews and it seems that there was an uptick of fake products sent to customers. Perhaps such an uptick triggers this fakespot behavior? My observation for this and other products is that when something is shady, the reviews consist of a lot of date-clustered reviews that are positive followed by a trickle of critical reviews that seem to point out specific issues with the product.

Merely having fake products doesn't imply fake reviews though? If anything the fake reviews would seem to be more genuine. I also don't really see any particular uptick or date-clustering like you mention. There are a total of 7 reviews that say "fake" or "counterfeit" out of 177 critical reviews, out of 1382 total reviews... and I'm not really noticing a particular clustering of good reviews preceding these the most prominent critical review [1] (haven't checked the rest).
