They are into the pockets of big business. So much for consumer safety.
Thats what you get when clowns like DxDouche vote for Republicans and Jorge
Boosh.

D'Oh !

Mike you yourself used the word 'Counterfeit' in the subject-line.
No amount of Accurate Testing and Legal Certification can
prevent illegally 'counterfeited' products from being placed within
the Market-Place disguised as a Legal Product.

Statement of Professor Daniel C.K. Chow

COUNTERFEITING IN CHINA
I. Introduction

In terms of size, scope, and magnitude, counterfeiting in China is
considered by many to the most serious counterfeiting problem in world
history. (As used here, counterfeiting refers to the unauthorized use
of trademarks owned by another on identical or similar goods.) A
recent study by the PRC State Council Research and Development Center
reported that in 2001 the PRC economy was flooded with between $19-$24
billion worth of counterfeit goods. Brand owners in China estimate
that 15 to 20% of all well-known brands in China are counterfeit and
estimate their losses to be in the tens of billions of dollars.
Counterfeiting is estimated to now account for approximately 8% of
China’s gross domestic product.

China is also a leading exporter of counterfeit products to other
countries in Asia, Europe, and the United States. In 2003, China
accounted for 66% or over $62 million of the $94 million of all
counterfeit and infringing goods seized by the US Customs Service at
ports of entry into the United States. Mid-year figures in 2004
indicate that seizures are sharply higher with $64 million seized in
the first half of 2004 alone. An ominous development is that beginning
in 2004, exports of counterfeits from China to the United States and
other parts of the world may begin to increase significantly for the
foreseeable future.

How would a certification organization prevent counterfeit circuit
breakers from being imported and sold by some sleaze-bag business.

You seem to be wrongly focused on some undefined "They" being the
cause and solution to the problem. WE are as much a part of the
counterfeit problem because WE create the demand for those products by
focusing on the lowest possible price. Many of us will jump at
products like circuit breakers marked Square D at impossibly low
prices (that's greed). And we are surprised that the Square D circuit
breaker is a dangerous fake, that the counterfeit Crest toothpaste has
antifreeze, or that the childs toy was assembled using cheap
components including lead paint.

When prices are too good to be true they usually are.

I agree completely. I do wonder how the things got into the stores.
Somehow, I don't think the counterfeiters were selling them out of the
trunks of their cars.

The greed may well have been at a much higher level, such as store
purchasing management. It's hard to move so many pieces of merchandise
without a proper sales venue.
