The counterfeiting problem on Amazon has been a problem for a while. It all goes back to the commingling inventory issue which allows (and even encourages) counterfeiters to substitute their inferior goods for the real deal -- at the expense of the consumer and the producer, and to the benefit of Amazon and the counterfeiter.
