Genuine Fake: New Exhibition Warns of Counterfeit Dangers

The 'Genuine Fake' exhibition, a collaborative effort between the German Customs Museum and the 'Central Office for the Suppression of Intellectual Property Crime', has opened its doors at the BlechenCARRÈ shopping center in Cottbus. The exhibition, running from October 14, 2024 to November 2, 2024, is open Monday to Saturday from 08:00 to 20:00, offering visitors a chance to learn about the perils of counterfeit products.

The exhibition showcases a range of counterfeit items that mimic genuine products, including sportswear brand t-shirts, sunglasses, perfumes, chainsaws, and construction foam. These items highlight the deceptive nature of counterfeiting, which can have serious implications.

Visitors will learn about the health risks associated with using counterfeit products, such as poor quality materials and lack of safety standards. The exhibition also underscores the financial losses incurred by consumers due to the absence of warranty claims and the negative impact of counterfeiting on the local economy and job market.

The 'Genuine Fake' exhibition in Cottbus serves as a stark reminder of the dangers and consequences of counterfeit products. By raising awareness, the exhibition aims to empower consumers to make informed purchasing decisions, ultimately contributing to a healthier and more robust economy.
