Designates July 2026 to raise awareness about fake products and protect shoppers.

This Senate resolution would make July 2026 "National Anti-Counterfeiting and Consumer Education and Awareness Month." It aims to teach people about the dangers of fake products and how they can harm health and safety. This would help consumers make smarter choices and protect themselves from illegal goods.

What Would Change

Today, federal laws regulate fake products, but consumers still face dangers from illicit goods, especially online. After this resolution, July 2026 would be officially recognized as a month dedicated to increasing public awareness and education about the harms of counterfeit products, encouraging more efforts to protect consumers and brand owners.
