We have found out that
there are counterfeit Murata products circulating around
the world especially in the East Asian
region. These counterfeit products are handled by electronic
component dealers or Internet Web sites, outside of our official
distribution channels.
Not only do counterfeit products fall short of our quality
standards, possibly causing malfunction of equipment, but
the customers who use them may be penalized for unintentionally
being involved in an illegal activity.
Therefore, we request our customers to make sure to purchase
Murata products through Murata Manufacturing sales offices,
sales subsidiaries, official distributors or the electronic
component sales site "Ceramy Direct" on the Murata Web site
to avoid accidentally purchasing counterfeit products.
We cordially request customers' understanding and cooperation.
If you need help in your suspect items, try our web counseling service.
This service is free of charge and for Murata's regular customers only.
*Counterfeit products: We have been
aware of cases where comparable or substandard non-Murata
products are sold as Murata products by using copied
packaging, product labels, and Murata logo.
