3M is dedicated to quality and safety, counterfeits undermine this. By reporting them, you help maintain product integrity and protect consumers.
Report counterfeit productWhy authentic 3M products matter?
At 3M we know that quality matters. We believe that every customer seeking to purchase a 3M product should receive an authentic 3M product — each and every time. Counterfeits or fakes are typically cheaply made imitations that don’t offer the quality assurance that you expect from 3M products.
Counterfeit products are not tested or approved like authentic 3M products. Instead, they are made by unknown fraudsters, using unknown processes and materials, with unknown or nonexistent quality control. And depending on the type of product, using a counterfeit product could put you at risk.
Avoiding counterfeit product
The best way to avoid purchasing a counterfeit product is to always buy from a 3M authorized reseller. When you do, you have the highest assurance that you have received genuine 3M product.
If you are unsure about the legitimacy of a particular reseller, have you asked the reseller for proof that it is authorized by 3M and that the goods are authentic? Does the purported documentation appear suspect in any way?
For help in confirming if you are purchasing for an authorized reseller, contact 3M at 800-426-8688.
