An investigation into counterfeit airbags revealed a larger counterfeiting ring involving individuals from the United Kingdom and China. One importer was convicted of selling counterfeit goods and sentenced to over a year in jail after importing approximately 2,500 counterfeit airbags.
“The man imported about 2,500 counterfeit airbags with the logos of several automakers on them.”
“He was part of a larger counterfeiting ring that was also selling parts with DTN logos on them, according to regulators.”
“In that case, the importer ended up being convicted of selling counterfeit goods. And he went to jail for just over a year.”
