This has been a big problem in beauty products particularly, I know. People having sudden reactions to a cream they’ve used for years, because it’s actually a counterfeit.

Another area affected by this is trading cards. If you buy a trading card pack, it's guaranteed yours will have previously been opened, sifted through for good cards, poorly resealed, and returned for Amazon to say "yeah this looks untampered, sell it for the same vendor as new".
