Baby formula, which is related to the development of future generations, is being exploited as a dirty profiteering tool by dishonest profiteers. Counterfeit modern medicine is not only ineffective, but can also kill patients in silence... It is worth mentioning that the tricks of counterfeiters are increasingly sophisticated, making it difficult for consumers to distinguish between fake and genuine goods. Counterfeit and poor quality goods have been and are directly threatening the health, trust, and even the lives of millions of people.

Its consequences not only affect the rights and health of the people but also the legitimate businesses in the production and business process have to face unfair competition. The problem of counterfeit goods is disrupting the market, businesses lose motivation, consumers are confused and the economy is damaged, more dangerously it will threaten the development of society.

To eliminate this threat, a comprehensive, synchronous fight from many sides is needed. First of all, the authorities must tighten inspection, supervision and strictly handle violations according to regulations and sanctions of the law. At the same time, continue to promote propaganda work, equipping people with knowledge to identify genuine products. On the business side, investing in anti-counterfeiting technology, building a transparent distribution system and publicizing product information are essential steps. This is not only a way to protect the brand but also a commitment to customers about quality and responsibility.

After the counterfeit goods were discovered, many consumers have proactively chosen to buy goods at reputable establishments.

And, the core factor in the fight against counterfeit and poor quality goods still lies in the awareness and actions of consumers themselves. In today's multi-layered commodity market, when consumers are facing a "matrix" of real and fake, mixed with good and bad, if we are not smart consumers, we will become victims at any time.

Therefore, do not buy products based on trust and subjectivity, you must carefully check the clear origin such as anti-counterfeit stamps, QR codes, manufacturer information... Only shop at reputable addresses, do not bet your health and wallet on empty advertisements on social networks. Besides, be wary of tricks such as "unexpectedly cheap prices", "super promotions"...

At the same time, equip yourself with legal knowledge such as: the right to return, the right to complain, the right to denounce fraudulent acts, consumer deception... And, especially, be ready to speak up and denounce to the authorities when discovering fraudulent acts of the manufacturer, because knowing but not reflecting is invisibly aiding the existence of wrong and evil.

Speaking up, taking action and consuming responsibly are ways consumers can contribute to building a healthy marketplace.

Counterfeit goods not only deceive individuals but also poison the whole market, causing unpredictable consequences... Speaking up, taking action and consuming responsibly is how we contribute to building a healthy market and a civilized society.
