BEIJING - China has promised to pursue product pirates identified by U.S. authorities in a new effort to stamp out its thriving counterfeit industry, the head of the U.S. customs agency said Friday.

The agreement comes amid mounting concern that Chinese pirates are endangering public safety in the United States and elsewhere by selling fake medicine, auto parts and other goods.

China accounted for about 80 percent of the 14,775 shipments of counterfeit goods seized at U.S. ports last year, said W. Ralph Basham, commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. He said the FDA was in touch with Chinese officials.

Chris Singer, the chief operating officer of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, held aloft two similar-looking medicine packages for reporters to view. "Even our experts have a really hard time telling the difference," Singer said, identifying one of the packages as fake drugs produced by skilled counterfeiters.


Geez, who would have believed they would have the nerve to be exporting FAKE MEDICINE to the good ole USA for profit off the sick and injured????? And fake automotive parts too!


And WALMART is their Largest Customer to boot......


LOL It's a good thing we don't ever purchase generic drugs or oil or automotive parts at WalMart.

I don't know...I'd bet it's the "little guy" getting scammed by the fake stuff and not the "big boys" like WalMart. The big guys have their "known" counterparts, known distributers that they have relationships with supplying them. WalMart is a HUGE customer...would YOU take the chance of driving them away with inferior products? It's "joe store owner" who has to get it wherever he can who I'd think gets the bad stuff.

Anyone agree?

Anyone agree?

No. Is there something forcing 'joe store owner' to buy their product from a disreputable source?

Lack of knowledge or consideration could be the start of it. It could be for profitability. It could be both!

I have no problem buying some Walmart brand oil/fluids for my truck and lawn equipment because if you check most of their oil and filters are US made. One day I decided to change my fuel filter for my truck. I normally do not buy Fram products but at the time I was at a Walmart and did not feel like making another stop at an auto parts store. All Walmart had for my fuel filter was a Fram. Got home and removed the filter from the package and notice it was made in China. I would rather buy a house brand made in the usa than a national brand made in china. Lesson learn.

It's post's like these that are the reason you are constantly on my ignore list. Your defensive argumentative reasoning and fantasy facts.

1, What makes you think I'm not aware of counterfit branding?? And why do you assume I'm naive?? Thats awfull presumptive of you. That would be like me presuming that you were a jerk.. even though i don't have anything other than circumstantial evidence of it .....

I work in the media business.. cd and dvd counterfitting in the asain market alone costs the industry over 8 figures..

2, Known good source.. Um.. excuse me.. that's what i have been talking about.. national chain pharmacies.. I've even refered to at least one by name. I'm not talking about 'wang's discount snake oil, holistic meds, bongs, and prescription meds with a mailing address in nigeria... I'm talking about walking into walgreens drug store and handing my prescription to the pharmacist, and then getting a drug.. name brand OR generic, as the case may be.. that is manufactured by a NON US pharmaceutical company. I've stated that time and time again... You are deliberately refusing to recognize that point...

3, Again.. whose talking generics. There are plenty of name brand drugs manufactured by non US pharmacutical companies.

Your message implies that unless a drug is manufactured by a us drug company it is a counterfit / junk / bad...

I guess eventually I'll learn to not hit the 'view post' above your message headers so that I can avoid your fantasy arguments....

Since you are being so bone headed about this, I'll site an example.

Astrazenica : Their corporate office is based in the UK... by your reasoning.. they are an unsafe non legit counterfitter drug company right???? IE.. if I run down to my corner walgreen's and get my prescription for nexium or crestor filled ( for example ).. then I'm getting their drug.. made by an internation drug co. based in another country. Which by your definition will be unsafe....

Counterfeit name branding on products is BIG BUSINESS, Soundguy, don't be so naive.

Want to buy a Rolex or a diamond or some chemotherapy drugs for your cancer? Better get it from a known good source.....

Good luck with your foreign generics though....


BTW, the latest is poisionous antifreeze (ehtylene glycol) in imported toothpaste.....and I've got six chromatography machines!

The majority of conversation on this website is compact tractors. Its been well established that people can tell a performance difference between low grade and high grade oils in hydrostatic transmissions. Obviously there is a difference in this application. Thats not to say that its going to be as evident in all machines.

Obvious ? Most people i know use cheap oil in Dozers,Excavators,Tractors and combines all being hydro or powershift or vario transmissions , These machines are not just mowing a lawn they are doing 18 hour days at 2-3000 rpm's , THEY GET HOT and there is NO difference .
I recently had major surgery on my CAT D7 at a so called reputable CAT place , When i stopped in to check on things i noticed that all the used oil pails out back were wall-mart pails , And they do warranty work ?

WalMart is a HUGE customer...would YOU take the chance of driving them away with inferior products?

From the junk I see selling in WalMart, I'd say they welcome all the cheap junk they can get with open arms

There was a time that you could bypass the WalMart Junk Store and go buy the good stuff but that's hard to do now. Especially in the smaller towns.

You find me one person... just one who has taken an RTV900 and run generic oil in it and not seen a performance difference. Read the threads online, the difference is so noticable that some people have gone out and emptied the crappy oil out after just a few hours.

Thats not to say its going to be so obvious on all machines. This is just one where the difference is so clear its impossible to ignore. Blanket statements that all oils is the same and okay in every application are simply not true.

After working with the FDA intimately for the last twenty five years and having our meds shipped directly from the pharma in a locked safe with a legal chain of command of everyone who touched the shipment from origin to patient, and still getting illegal counterfeit drugs, I would not put a single grain of faith in your opinion on this subject....

Skypup
you have been working with the "FDA intimately" for 25 years, and the FDA has FAILED (problem has gotten worse instead of better) to protect us from "illegal counterfeit drugs", why should anybody "put a single
grain of faith in your opinion on this subject....."
one other question, since you make all these claims, you must have proof/evidence/fact ! on your side, especially against your favorite boogey man Wal-Mart, why haven't I seen the usual "perp walk" of Wal-Mart executives on the evening news, besides how does Wal-Mart counterfeit Wal-Mart Oil, guess they use Sears oil in Wal-Mart Containers

P.S. Wal-Mart oil, (you remember the original topic) does the FDA (and Skypup) have jurisdiction ?, guess if you use it for constipation
