I think the issue is multifold: a lot of the fake products are not dangerous, but they are either useless, or otherwise inferior. There’s essentially no recourse for this as a consumer, and you probably won’t even notice that you don’t have an original product.

In some cases the fakes are downright dangerous. This is much more the case in supplements, cosmetics, food, and occasionally electrical appliances.

People will only sue them when they get actually dangerous products. Even then it’s a difficult process.
