Thai police cracks down on counterfeit products for online sale with Panasonic and Lazada help Details
Thai police have dismantled a Panasonic counterfeiting ring and recovered over 82,000 fake batteries bearing Panasonic s trademark. The seizure is the largest to date for the brand in Southeast Asia, with the batteries intended for sales on various eCommerce platforms. The raid, which took place at a warehouse outside Bangkok in May, was the result of several months of close collaboration between Panasonic s brand team and Lazada s intellectual property rights protection team, which facilitated information sharing and provided evidence to the relevant Thai authorities.
As batteries are often classified as consumables, they are regularly overlooked as products that can be counterfeited, despite the risk that fake batteries are highly hazardous and can cause serious damage to a variety of household appliances.
