Counterfeit product manufacturing is more that just a form of theft from the original manufacturer, it is also damaging to the reputation of the brand that customers have built trust in over time.    For the customer, the use of counterfeit electrical products is dangerous.  Counterfeits may pose a significant risk of electrical malfunction, potentially damaging equipment and injuring individuals.

Schneider Electric identifies, pursues and utilizes various legal means to eliminate counterfeit product sales.   We encourage our customers to only purchase “genuine” products through authorized distributors.   We also seek your assistance in identifying these counterfeit products. 

Since 2006 in the United States, Schneider Electric has taken legal action against companies selling counterfeit circuit breakers, removing hundreds of thousands of illegally manufactured circuit breakers and forcing recalls of unsafe products.
