I commented something similar on an article here about a year ago, and people had some good points[0]: > Heavy metal poisoning may take years to show effects. > Shoddily made laptop chargers may be a fire/shock hazard that kill in 100/1,000,000 instead of 1/1,000,000 cases. > Not every dangerous counterfeit is immediately obvious as such. > If you're slathering it all over your body but you have no idea where or how it was made, do you suppose that you might suffer from deferred regret at some point in the future? So, yeah, if the counterfeit is just as good, then fantastic. If it's not, that's a problem. If it's not in a non-obvious way that affects health or safety, that's a big problem.
