The Senate is designating July 2025 as "National Anti-Counterfeiting and Consumer Education and Awareness Month" to highlight the dangers of fake products flooding the market. The resolution points to staggering numbers: counterfeit goods cost U.S. businesses over $200 billion per year and roughly 750,000 American jobs, while products from China and Hong Kong account for over 90% of customs seizures. Counterfeit pharmaceuticals are a particular concern, with the DEA seizing 60 million fentanyl-laced fake pills in 2024 alone. The resolution calls for better public education to help consumers spot and avoid counterfeit goods.
