Notice: Beware of Counterfeit Butterfly Products
We deeply appreciate the enduring support that our customers have shown for Butterfly table tennis products.
In recent years, the circulation of counterfeit products has become a social issue, not just limited to table tennis equipment. We have confirmed the existence of counterfeit rubbers, blades, shoes, apparel, bags, and other Butterfly products both in Japan and other countries. In particular, numerous counterfeit products are found on various online shopping sites, auction sites, and resale platforms. In some cases, even though genuine product photos were displayed on the site, customers received counterfeit products upon purchase. While we are strengthening our efforts to request the removal of counterfeit products from these sites and take legal action against counterfeit sellers, it is unfortunately difficult to eliminate all counterfeit products.
Counterfeits are inferior to genuine products in terms of quality and performance and cause damage to customers who have purchased them. Additionally, they infringe on intellectual property rights such as patents, utility models, designs, and trademarks. By purchasing counterfeit products, customers may unintentionally be involved in illegal activities. We kindly ask for your utmost caution regarding this matter.
Furthermore, to help you avoid inadvertently purchasing counterfeit items, we will introduce some typical examples of counterfeit rackets below. We kindly ask you to be very cautious when purchasing.
