Nesses casos, normalmente, os produtos não possuem rótulos, o que possibilita o “esquentamento” como outro tipo de produto como fertilizante, domissanitário ou, ainda, como agrotóxico brasileiro, pois reutiliza embalagem vazia, alimentando o processo de falsificação.

passing off


Explanation:
The law of passing off prevents one trader from misrepresenting goods or services as being the goods and services of another, and also prevents a trader from holding out his or her goods or services as having some association or connection with another when this is not true.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passing_off

To misrepresent, trademark infringement. To make a false representation that is likely to induce the average person to believe that the goods or services being offered are those of another. For example, to package orange juice using a label that looks like a leading, high quality brand and which would fool the average person into believing that the product was produced by the competitor.
