To combat counterfeiting and protect its consumers, retailers and brands, HARMAN, which makes audio products under the JBL®, Harman Kardon® and AKG® brands among others, is working with authorities worldwide to take aggressive action against those who sell fake products.

Consumers may be surprised to discover that they are not entitled to a refund or repair as these products do not come with the manufacturer’s warranty. In addition, they leave behind dissatisfied customers and damage CE companies and their brands. In fact, these inferior products can fail a short time after first use due to poor components and they expose consumers to potential safety hazards even when not in use. These fake products sold online and by unauthorized brick-and-mortar stores, dealers do not meet quality and safety standards established by leading brands.
