It's a general quick way to check, it'll not always work. A bodged FCC logo means it's almost certainly a counterfeit. A proper or missing FCC logo means near nothing. I just noticed the bodged FCC logo in the original article, that's all.
sometimes you can spot similar shenanigans based on the CE logo but that's more rare.
- neilv 7y agoThanks. Sometimes, with counterfeits of various kinds of electronics products, I've wondered whether there was ever an intentional telltale indicator. So that country or other entity never accidentally got a counterfeit into a supply chain where they really didn't want it to be. (For example, not into the parts supply chain of a high-profile device manufactured there. Nor to ruin domestic markets for prestige luxury brand products, or other products for domestic consumption for which quality/integrity is considered very important.)
