“Juul Labs helped Chinese authorities take down a manufacturer that allegedly ripped off its vapes and sold the fakes overseas. Shenzhen Kang Erqiang Electronic Technology Co. — which hawked bogus Juul vape devices and flavor pods under the name Sourvape Technology — sold about $324,000 worth of counterfeit items over a 16-month period starting in 2018, Juul said. The probe led to the August conviction of the Shenzhen factory’s operator, who confessed to his involvement in the scheme and was sentenced to more than three years in prison, Adrian Punderson, Juul’s vice president of brand enforcement said.”
