2nd March 2023, Nairobi, Kenya.
We would like to clarify that the Anti-Counterfeit Authority (ACA) has released the goods that were seized at the China Square worth 50 million shillings. The goods were seized on 16th February 2023 following a complaint received from Smithmo Company Ltd, which suspected the sale of counterfeit Finder Tools within the premises.
However, we would like to inform the public that the complainant, in a letter dated 27th February, wrote to ACA and requested to withdraw the complaint against China Square. This request was made upon confirmation that the goods seized were sourced from the same manufacturer and international brand owner of Finder Merchandise. The complainant also requested for the release of the goods.
In light of this new information, ACA conducted a thorough investigation and verified the source of the goods, and we can confirm that they are authentic Finder Tools. As such, we have released the goods to the rightful owner.
We would like to urge members of the public to be vigilant when purchasing goods to avoid falling victim to counterfeit products. We also encourage them to report any suspected cases of counterfeit products to ACA to help protect their rights andinterests.
We thank the public for their cooperation in this matter, and we will continue towork tirelessly to protect consumers from counterfeit goods.
