Organized crime is no longer just manufacturing counterfeit luxury goods and distributing them at flea markets. These criminal groups now see opportunities to make fast money by manufacturing cheap copies of everyday products such as toys, pharmaceuticals, electrical devices (extension cords to MP3 players) and personal grooming products (shampoo to toothpaste). They prey on the common desire of many consumers to save money when making purchases. However, these savings may come at the price of safety (see examples in question 2).
