U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized 151 life-size decorative lights of Santa Claus, a snowman and a polar bear with electrical adapters containing counterfeit Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) markings.
UL is an independent product safety certification organization that rigorously tests and evaluates products for potential risk of fire, shock, and personal injury. Products are not certified until they meet established standards.
Products bearing counterfeit UL certification marks have not undergone this rigorous testing and certification process, and can present potential safety hazards to the end-user.
The holiday figurines were seized on Nov. 23 and 25. CBP officers discovered the infringing merchandise in two shipments arriving from China. The estimated manufacturers suggested retail price for the 151 units is $173,000 with an estimated domestic value of $110,000.
