Grassley On Anti-Counterfeiting Consumer Education and Awareness Month

Prepared Floor Remarks by U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa

On Anti-Counterfeiting Consumer Education and Awareness Month

Wednesday, July 17, 2019

 

In honor of Anti-Counterfeiting Consumer Education and Awareness Month, I would like to highlight the problem of counterfeits sold online.

 

Counterfeiters are increasingly turning to e-commerce to sell fakes.

 

In the past, I have advocated for increased education and awareness efforts because I believe it is a critical tool in the country’s arsenal against counterfeits.

 

I encourage Customs and Border Protection to identify ways to increase information sharing with their private industry partners.

 

This is one way we can prevent the sale of fakes and keep consumers safe.
