ULSE Anti-Counterfeiting acts as a neutral convener and objective resource to engage cross-sector stakeholders, practitioners, and experts. We leverage collaborative efforts and collective action to address significant product counterfeiting challenges that impact people, our communities, and our planet. 

Counterfeiting is a crime that spans product categories, industries, socioeconomic statuses, and geographies. ULSE combats these pressing safety threats through research, knowledge sharing, and partnerships with international crime-fighting organizations.

You wouldn't invite a counterfeiter into your home, but counterfeiters can find a way in - selling products harmful to you and your loved ones. From faulty water filters or counterfeit heaters to malfunctioning fire detectors or dangerous toxic toys or school supplies, home should be your safe place. So, watch out for third party sellers. Double check knock-off labeling and be wary of too-cheap-to-be-true prices. Slam the door on fakes.

Counterfeiters would like to follow you everywhere - from the street corner to online shopping sites, to your favorite social media channels. Think you got a good tip from an influencer? Or read a highly rated post or tip from someone like you looking for a good deal? Be aware - it could also be a counterfeiter setting a trap and leading you to a site that sells illegal knockoffs. Fakes as innocent looking as lipstick, or as serious as medicine, can be made with harmful ingredients that can cause serious illnesses and injuries.

Great moments are meant to be lived, not missed because of a battery fire. Are you sure your lithium-ion batteries are reliable and safe? Counterfeit batteries are not. They come with false promises, low prices, and poor safety. But these batteries don't deliver the performance. Worse, they can cause serious harm and injury to your devices, to you, and your loved ones. Authentic batteries perform safely thanks to extensive safety technology and testing. Learn what to look out for.

Counterfeiters cut corners using hazardous toxic material, exploiting workers, and utilizing child labor. Counterfeits can pollute air and water at the production site, and when disposed of, pose health and safety risks to consumers and can cause the loss of legitimate jobs and living wages. Protect the global community, our environment, and you and your loved ones.
