The packaging was made similar to Aquaguard
The company said the manufacturers of the product infringed EFL’s copyright by using Eureka Forbes and ‘Aquaguard’s name and star emblem, as well as a picture of the baby and mother,’ among the products seized. It has also tried to mislead consumers by imitating the signature blue and white colour scheme and font style in the production of these counterfeit goods. The manufacturers of the counterfeit products, which have been seized quickly, have also provided details of Eureka Forbes and e-mail IDs if there are any complaints.
The company had lodged a similar complaint in 2019
Cases of counterfeit products and fraud have been caught in the past, and Eureka Forbes has been working hard to crack down on counterfeit products and parts of purifiers.
