1st prize 2017 - "Flexi Explore L" retractable dog lead:

On the left is the original from Flexi-Bogdahn International in Bargteheide, Germany. On the right is the counterfeit, which is sold via various anonymous online suppliers operating via amazon.com (USA) with fake identities and daily changing accounts. The inferior quality (e.g. the non-functioning retractor mechanism) has already led to customer complaints and reputational damage in the USA.
