At 3M we know that quality matters. We believe that every customer seeking to purchase a 3M product should receive an authentic 3M product — each and every time. Counterfeits or fakes are typically cheaply made imitations that don’t offer the quality assurance that you expect from 3M products.
Counterfeit products are not tested or approved like authentic 3M products. Instead, they are made by unknown fraudsters, using unknown processes and materials, with unknown or nonexistent quality control. And depending on the type of product, using a counterfeit product could put you at risk.
Be wary of offers that seem too good to be true – they usually are.
If you are unsure about the legitimacy of a particular reseller, have you asked the reseller for proof that it is authorised by 3M and that the goods are authentic? Does the purported documentation appear suspect in any way?
For help confirming documentation of authorised resellers, contact 3M here.
