In the current bathroom building materials market, there are many fakes and parallel imports, and it is difficult for many consumers to distinguish the authenticity. In fact, in the decorative building materials market, fake and shoddy sanitary ware has the following characteristics. Consumers can avoid being deceived by carefully identifying them when purchasing.
Misappropriating trademarks to confuse real ones
In some third- and fourth-tier markets or in some projects, the phenomenon of misappropriating well-known products and brand-name products is relatively serious, and fakes are flying everywhere, which is hard to guard against.
Obfuscation levels are shoddy
This phenomenon is common in various products such as wall-to-floor shower rooms, toilets, bathroom cabinets, and faucets. Because ordinary consumers don’t know how to do it, they spend money on high-quality products, but what they buy back is second-class, third-class, or even substandard products.
Zhang Guan Li Dai evades detection
Some companies imitate famous brands or best-selling products, falsely use test reports and product manuals, brand their own trademarks, and vigorously promote products that have not been tested at all. This has been disclosed in detail in this year’s 3.15 party.
Ignoring industry standards and poorly manufactured products
Some producers and operators take advantage of the fact that consumers do not have professional knowledge of building materials, violate relevant national standards and industry standards, and leave the factory with serious safety hazards, which damage the interests of consumers.
Stealing money to make huge profits
Most of these phenomena appear on “foreign goods” or “quasi-foreign goods”. For example, some surf bathtubs are branded as imports or joint ventures, claiming “all imported components”, but in fact, the key component of their products – the electric system is “locally made”.
