Greed is going to kill us all...and where are all those certification
organizations we all pay good money to?

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.
