Company threatens to lay criminal complaint against Takealot over counterfeits

[Jan]

Takealot threatened with criminal charges

Blue Sky Distribution has warned Takealot that it will seek criminal prosecution against the platform and its chairperson after allegedly allowing counterfeits of a RapidLash-branded product on its platform.

RapidLash is a trademarked eyelash hair loss serum developed by an American company and distributed exclusively by Blue Sky in South Africa.

Good, a product sold on Takealot should be the product it claims to be and what was paid for, and it is Takealot's job to assure that.

We as lay people have a reasonable expectation that Take - A - Lot does their due diligence on products that they offer to us.

Amazon for once in its sweet life is actually right. If Ridge Wallet is engaged in litigation over its design patents with Mountain Voyage and the judge hasn't issued any form of injunction against Mountain Voyage, then using Amazon's processes while the case is under argument is double-dipping and is prohibited. Get the temporary injunction or live with it until the process is completed. If the judge won't grant an injunction about products violating your patents, then your argument is probably likely to fail in court.

I recall watching SARS confiscating counterfeit goods at a fleamarket once. How far we have fallen.

Takealot is just an online flea market after all these days. Cheap crap at inflated prices with almost no warranty.

They're the new Bobshop. Bobshop had an opportunity to protect buyers from this kind of crap, but ignored advice from clients.

But its listed and bought on their site, says takealot on your bank statement, says fulfilled by takealot, comes in a takealot box, delivered by a takealot employee, any returns have to go through takealot how could they possibly be responsible?

Seems the caption under the photo is incorrect. Blue Sky Distribution and not Blue Label Distribution.

I've seen a few fake products on Takealot.

Usually easy to spot because the price is far too low compared to other retailers.

They're experts at not making anything their fault.
