Amazon.com is driving U.S. manufacturers and retailers out of business through their blatant disregard of intellectual property rights. Amazon, in collusion with international fraudsters (mainly from China), is aiding and facilitating the counterfeiting of consumer goods on an unprecedented scale. In so doing, Amazon is knowingly deceiving and confusing consumers about the identity, safety and the legitimacy of the products they are buying. Action must be taken by the Federal Government to reign in these abuses to save the American retail sector and protect the American public from dangerous counterfeit goods.
