Amazon and Canon have targeted a large group of "bad actors" that the two companies allege have sold counterfeit camera batteries and chargers to unsuspecting buyers.
Canon has been at war with producers of counterfeit batteries for almost a decade and has announced that it just won a major battle in a targeted settlement with a major shipping and fulfillment company that supplied them to the market.
Canon just scored a major legal win in the battle against counterfeit products. A US District Court has issued a judgement in Canon's favor in a lawsuit against two eBay users who were selling counterfeit Canon batteries online.
Canon recently launched a new safety initiative aimed at keeping dangerous knock-off gear out of your camera. The tag line for the initiative is "Play it Safe, Power your Canon with Canon Power," and the company is hoping that a mix of warnings and education will do the trick and keep you from buying counterfeit "Canon" batteries and chargers.
