SINGAPORE — Despite finding out from a distributor that the thermometers she was reselling may not be authentic, Lau Xiao Ling continued advertising them on various online platforms until the authorities raided her home.
Lau earned about S$20,000 in profits from selling these counterfeit thermometers and ear probes from 2019 to 2021.
The 34-year-old Singaporean was sentenced to three weeks’ jail on Tuesday (Oct 25). She pleaded guilty to selling goods with a falsely applied trademark under the Trade Marks Act, with another charge taken into consideration for sentencing.
The court heard that Lau ran accounts on e-retail platforms Shopee, Lazada, Carousell, Qoo10 and Supermom. She sold assorted items to customers to supplement her personal income.
In June 2019, she bought a Braun Thermoscan 7 Model IRT6520 thermometer from a Qoo10 seller for S$49.90 for her personal use.
Satisfied with the product, she then listed the same thermometer model for sale, buying them for S$55 each from the same Qoo10 seller whenever she received an order. She then resold them for about S$64 to S$78 each.
A genuine thermometer costs between S$135 and S$169 at official retailers such as NTUC FairPrice supermarkets, Courts and Watsons stores here.
