Thank you, Chair.
I'd like to thank both our witnesses for being here today.
I'd like to start with you, Ms. Nott. We've heard previously that potentially dangerous counterfeit goods like batteries, electrical equipment, and even pharmaceutical drugs have been making their way into the legitimate supply chain and ending up on retailers' shelves.
Maybe you can lend us a little insight and explain how a counterfeit product would go from the black market, so to speak, to a legitimate one, and end up on a retailer's shelf. In other words, how are counterfeit goods permeating the legitimate supply chain?
