Nutcracker "Naomi":

The original on the left was designed by Take2-Design, Rosenheim, Germany. The counterfeit on the right is distributed via AliExpress.com, a Chinese online retailer whose identity is unknown. Online bargain hunters are one of the main drivers behind the spread of product and brand piracy, according to the association. A large proportion of the customs seizures involved postal and courier parcels resulting from private online orders. In addition to clothing, sporting goods and toys, the goods seized include counterfeits with a high risk potential: from incorrectly dosed or contaminated medicines, perfumes, cosmetics, food and cigarettes to electrical household appliances, chainsaws and brake pads.
