최근에, a number of Japanese sanitary ware companies have successively reported that there are a large number of counterfeit faucets filter elements, water purifier filter elements and other products on the market.
Counterfeit products are mostly sold on e-commerce platforms and have been distributed to many countries in Asia
게다가, many companies also reported finding illegal products such as counterfeit shower heads, 위조 타일 접착제, and counterfeit ceramic knives.
Some companies call on consumers to be more vigilant and try their best to make purchases through official websites or directly-operated stores.
Fake faucets filter products are rampant, and large e-commerce platforms are available for sale
7월 20, TOTO issued an announcement saying that it found counterfeit “토토” brand faucets filter products on the market.
TOTO said that counterfeit products are mainly sold on some well-known large e-commerce platforms, but did not disclose the specific platform names.
TOTO advises consumers that if there is a problem with the product purchased, it is best not to use it for safety and health reasons.

Coincidentally, another building materials giant LIXIL also issued a similar announcement not long ago, saying that the company received complaints from consumers that it bought counterfeit “릭실” brand faucets filter products on e-commerce platforms.
LIXIL이 예전에 그랬다고 하더군요., 이러한 위조 제품은 포장을 통해 구별할 수 있습니다., such as unnatural expressions in Japanese, 하지만 이제는 포장으로 구별하기가 어렵습니다..
LIXIL detailed the characteristics of counterfeit products:
1. The price is much cheaper than the genuine product;
2. There are differences between the outer packaging font and the genuine product;
3. The product cannot be installed normally;
4. There are differences in internal materials and shapes.
LIXIL said that although the company has requested platforms that sell counterfeit products to remove related products from the shelves, it has not been able to completely remove them because of the application for each removal.
Call on consumers to buy from self-operated websites or regular stores.
Asian sanitary ware market fake “일화” prevail
과거에, made in Japan was synonymous with high quality, 이는 위조품의 확산으로 이어졌습니다., and some unscrupulous merchants put Japanese brand trademarks on their products for sale. 예를 들어, it was reported last year that some consumers in Shanghai bought a counterfeit “토토” brand toilet on an e-commerce website.
A urinal with a purchase price of more than 200 yuan can be sold for more than 400 yuan after labeling, and a toilet with a purchase price of more than 1,000 원.
확실히, high profits are the reason why these unscrupulous merchants take risks.
사실은, 명성 “일본산”, which once dominated the world with its “craftsman spirit”, has continued to decline in recent years, 그리고 “일본산” 원래 위치로 돌아왔습니다.
It can be seen from the sales data of many listed sanitary companies in Japan that the Chinese market’s enthusiasm for Japanese sanitary ware products has tended to decline, and consumers are more willing to choose domestic big-name products.
하지만, it cannot be denied that due to “consumption inertia”, many consumers still prefer to choose Japanese and other foreign products. It is believed that the process of common development and common progress of domestic and foreign brands will continue for a longer period of time.
