Thanks for article. I only buy well known products. You never know what is in off brand merchandise.

I agree Countess. That's one reason I don't buy medical products like Voltaren on Amazon, either. I don't think Amazon does a good job of policing their 3rd party suppliers of branded products.

While not a medical product, I bought a bottle of Byredo Mojave Ghost body wash on Amazon. The packaging and branding were spot on, but what was inside was most certainly not the real product. Byredo makes an expensive line of bath products usually available at Niemann Marcus.

That said, I don't always avoid Amazon for these non-medical purchases. But for medical products or OTC drugs and topical treatments, I'd rather pay a premium and buy from a manufacturer or at a reliable retail location.
