“We are gathering evidence which we will turn over to authorities to help in our campaign against counterfeit products,” said a statement issued by Bostik Philippines, an elastomeric sealant manufacturer besieged by the proliferation of counterfeits.
“These nefarious traders not only taint the reputation of the products they are selling, but they are also casting these e-commerce sites in a bad light if they are not dealt with properly,” said the statement. “Despite carrying brands and trademarks associated with our company, we cannot guarantee the quality of these counterfeit products as these were made outside our manufacturing facilities,” the statement said.
