Surely the problem isn't counterfeit goods but the fact that there is no practical way to guarantee the electrical safety of goods purchased from Amazon. Why isn't it easier to test electrical safety, or why aren't all cables and chargers spot-check tested for safety?
The problem IS counterfeit goods, as when they fail, which they will, the consumer thinks that it's from the brand themselves, which causes them undue hardship.
Because it's not fair competition. If you competed against a brand with your own brand, and made it clear that you were not associated with that brand, then it'd be ok. But that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about jackasses that imitate the brand, so the consumer thinks it is the brand that they're dealing with. So when things go wrong, they don't blame the rando counterfeiter, they blame the brand itself.
