Amazon sued by retailer over counterfeit allegations
Amazon on iPad Amazon and Apple are facing a legal challenge from an electronics retailer accused of selling counterfeit goods. Hard 2 Find Accessories (H2FA) claims Amazon wrongly took down its product listings, at Apple’s request, causing it to lose more than $180,000 a month and effectively shutting its business down. It also says the allegations of trading in counterfeits amounts to defamation. Apple said that the products being sold were believed to be counterfeit because they were priced at a steep discount, while customer reviews suggested that they may not be genuine.
