A raid has been conducted by the Chinese public security against counterfeit suppliers of ReFa CARAT and ReFa CARAT RAY, which are the products of our beauty brand ReFa. The suppliers have manufactured and sold a large number of counterfeits. After the raid, a criminal trial progressed, and Chinese court ruled on the case recently. This is the first case where the judgement became final and binding to MTG.
MTG will continue fighting against counterfeits so that our customers can use our products safely.
