Jail for gang that sold fake brand diapers
Print Edition
FOUR people who made and sold counterfeit Pigeon baby diapers, and forged official stamps and papers to sell baby food have been jailed.
Minhang District People’s Court said the ringleader, Zheng He, had set up a fake branch of Japan’s Pigeon Corporation in Hong Kong, and used this to authorize a trade company based in Guangzhou City to make and sell the brand diapers on the Chinese mainland.
From April to June last year, Zheng told one of the gang to make 1.6 million pieces of baby diapers in Fujian Province. The remaining two gang members ran the printing and packaging operation in a warehouse in Jiangxi Province, the court said.
The four defendants were found to have sold counterfeit Pigeon diapers to the value of 1.1 million yuan (US$159,650). In a warehouse raid last July, police seized 4,800 bags of counterfeit Pigeon diapers, worth 260,000 yuan, and 38,400 empty packaging bags.
Zheng also sold unlicensed imported baby food on the mainland. The brands weren’t revealed by the court. Zheng forged inspection and quarantine clearances, the court added.
Zheng was sentenced to four and a half years behind bars for trademark infringement and forging papers and was fined 740,000 yuan.
The other three received jail terms ranging from one year to three years and one month.
