Counterfeiting Causes Fires

From the Electrical Safety Foundation International, a blurb about the dangers of buying counterfeit electrical appliances. Not only do counterfeiters often skimp on the safety measures included in the original product design, but who could you possibly hold responsible for a fire caused by a fake product? The original manufacturer? Probably not. Fly-by-night counterfeiters? Maybe, if you can find them. But even then, do they have the resources to withstand a lawsuit?
