Staffordshire County Council’s trading standards officers are reminding people about the dangers of counterfeit goods when shopping in the run up to Christmas.
The sale of counterfeit goods is big business with much of it linked to organised crime. Buying fakes does not only help line the pockets of criminals but they can also be harmful, especially when it comes to things like alcohol or unsafe children’s toys.
Popular fakes this Christmas will include the latest children’s toys and dolls, branded sportswear, electronics, cosmetics and alcohol.
You can report the sales of counterfeit goods on the Staffordshire Fight the Fakes helpline on 01785 330356.
