Also just back from a holiday and sadden to see at two different tourist sites the gift shops selling counterfeit Lego. OK, they weren't current sets, but were pirate and city themed sets with a fake red logo in Lego's style and similar box art to what what Lego uses. Clearly trying to make it look like real Lego.
Fake bricks with LEGO logos are out there.

This is very worrying.
I think that just about ends my secondhand buying habits from ebay, facebook and amazon marketplace. I'll be very cautious about any source that isn't directly traceable to LEGO.
I shall be saving receipts as provenence for my purchases in case the need to sell something arises.
Actually, it's not worrying is it? No, it's just really, really bloody annoying.
Me too. The person writing the article doesn't seem to know much about LEGO colours. They are clearly comparing it to a yellow one and it is way off.

the Brick Fan also reported on this.

If an oil company dumps product in the ocean, and years later is found to negligent (or criminally negligent), the company still continues on, presumably with better safeguards in place to prevent future damage.
Although there is definitely some worthwhile debate to be had about the value of a so-called 'corporate death sentence' for cases of repeated offending, or for particularly large or egregious offenses.
What is this...I don't even...what?! My brain hurts!
My take--it's another one of those garbage websites with filler just to get ad revenue.
Saw this in The Range. Gotta give them some credit for somehow mashing up duplo blocks with system dinos. As far as I'm aware it's not ripped off a duplo set, but may be inspired by a moc. Did not purchase.

(see thread for context). Gave me a chuckle at least.
