I agree completely. I do wonder how the things got into the stores.

I was just wondering the same thing. Do the purchasing folks check
things out? Or, are the fakes pretty good and it takes some tech
folks to go over every damn item?

Kickbacks to the purchasing folks?

In my business suppliers are audited. People in my company actually go
the supplier and audit them. The purchasing people can then only buy
from companies on the approved buyer list. The suppliers that buy raw
materials from other suppliers are required to do the same. Through
these procedures an audit trail from where the metal ore is dug out of
the ground or plastic is manufactured to the finished product is
created. The materials that go into our product are audited, inspected
and tested as necessary to assure conformance to specifications.

If something managed to get through all the auditing, inspecting, and
testing the lots of materials are source documented with dates and
serial numbers so there is traceability and the product in the field can
be recalled and scraped or reworked.

My breaker/fuse box was manufactured by Colt's Patent Fire Arms Mfg. Co,
Hartford Conn!
