Counterfeits Revealed

IHS and ERAI experts speak at the Counterfeits Revealed webinar on November 1, 2011

Counterfeit electronic products pose a significant risk of death. They can ground aircraft, cause failure of safety-related components in nuclear plants and harm patients. In addition to serious loss of life and critical safety implications, fake or damaged parts also cause everything from product quality and reliability failures to damaged brand and increased in customer returns and recalls that lead to rework, repair, warranty and maintenance costs.
