Law enforcement agents seized 36,000 counterfeit AirPods in Ohio. They re valued at about $7.16 million.
It happened with three separate shipments, each containing about 12,000 fake AirPods. The Kentucky-bound cases were shipped from China, and an import specialist confirmed that the items violated trademark and copyright codes, according to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection news release.
The CBP release also emphasized that consumers can avoid purchasing fake products by checking to see whether the company has published lists of authorized retailers online, and unauthorized vendors “could easily mean the product is fake.” Officials also recommend reading labels and checking serial numbers, as well as “using common sense” when a product appears to be too cheap.
