Counterfeit Shure Products Seized in Peru and Paraguay
Eppingen/Germany, February 2, 2012 - - Thousands of counterfeit Shure microphones were recently confiscated by customs officials in Peru and Paraguay. The actions were the result of ongoing investigations by Shure representatives in both countries, in cooperation with local customs and law enforcement agencies.
In Peru, customs officials seized 2.303 counterfeit Shure microphones as the products were being imported into the country. The microphones included the models C606, SM58 and PG58. Furthermore 1.594 cables and several thousand accessories, user guides and product cartons, all branded with the Shure trademark, were confiscated. Fabi Export and Import, a company that is not an authorized Shure distributor or reseller, imported the faked products.
In Paraguay, a delegation of officials from the customs authority raided a number of resellers in Ciudad del Este, including Music Shop, Music Brasil SA, and Musical World. Counterfeit products seized included SM57, SM58, Beta 57A, and Beta 58A microphones.
“Shure continues to take vigorous action against counterfeiters worldwide,” said Mark Humrichouser, General Manager for the Shure Americas Business Unit. “We are committed to challenging the sale of counterfeit Shure products, not only to protect the interests of Shure and our distribution partners, but to ensure that customers receive authentic products with the performance and audio quality for which Shure is famous.”
