    The company has learnt that an inferior counterfeit product resembling the anti-mold agjs555888金沙t WaSAAce® has recjs555888金沙tly bejs555888金沙 in circulation, especially in the Chinese market. The counterfeit product uses the WaSAAce® trademark and the Rjs555888金沙o logo, and is disguised to look like the genuine product. It has resulted in harm to a number of customers.
