Yahoo Finance: Top 5 Counterfeits that Endanger Consumers

Yahoo Finance airs a video on the top five most dangerous counterfeits and explains the ever growing global counterfeiting industry which now is valued at over $600 Billion annually.





Counterfeit Prescription Drugs were listed as number one on the list of the top five counterfeits that are of most risk to consumers.

US Customs and Border Patrol reports that seizure of counterfeit pharmaceuticals totaled $11 Million in 2009. The 2010 number is anticipated to easily exceed that value.

Secure Pharma Chain believes that it is important that consumers understand the danger that counterfeit drugs pose to their health. Fraudulent, adulterated, substandard and counterfeit medications are one of the most significant and dangerous health care issues of the 21st century. This video is a great way to share that message.
