Just one question...WHY?   I mean, of all the things to counterfit, why laundry soap ?  It is not like it is SOOOO expensive that a counterfit would be that much cheaper (I would think)

Saw this on the news this morning. They said that it is very profitable and you don't face the serious charges that you would for something like selling drugs.

I don't mean to laugh - but I can't imagine buying laundry Detergent from the back of a truck or the trunk of someone's car 

 

Counterfeit products are a very serious issue.   Thanks for this thread

Re: Counterfeit laundry detergent

I've never seen laundry detergent sold anywhere other than a market or Target type of store.  And I've never bought anything out of the back of a truck.  Where do these sales take place?

Well now a days they make so much  counterfeit clothing,purses and anything else you can think of to buy. So now we have a knock off Tide to wash the counterfeit goods in. Boy China is making a fortune!  Rub a Dub Dub!

Re: Counterfeit laundry detergent

It IS odd .... I understand small lightweight things being counterfitted .... vitamins, handbags, belts. watches, jewelry, etc etc.    

 

However, a 5 gallon tub of Fake Tide has to weigh ... what? .... about 10 pounds?   Try lugging a few dozen of those around to the local flea market.   Sheesh!
