  1. A factory making the same product, but putting different brand names on them is not new. There’s tons of examples, (did you know there’s really only ONE company that makes microwaves? They just change the control panels to the design specifications of brand that puts their name on the outside.) Another one that’s actually really bad, if you watch the Lock Picking Lawyer on youtube, he finds cheap locks or lockboxes that look so suspiciously similar, it’s like they just change out the silkscreen for the brand name every few hours. It’s bad, because now you have a bunch of the same security devices out there with the same flawed locks that can be exploited by criminals.
