The story was published three weeks ago.
Amazon is trying to keep out fake goods.   :)

One suit targets ToysNet of Hacienda Heights, California; Disk Vision of Brandon, Florida; and individuals who Amazon says sold counterfeit Forearm Forklifts, straps used to carry heavy and bulky items. Amazon said it removed the fake items in June, and said Disk Vision forged an invoice to trick Amazon into reinstating the product listing. Another lawsuit targets several individuals who allegedly sold bogus TRX Suspension Trainers, an exercise system. The lawsuits were filed Monday in state court in Seattle. Amazon provided copies of the complaints, which couldn’t immediately be verified in court records.
Rad the story.  There is is more.
And expect more of this....  >:(

The story I first saw on Bloomberg.  It was also picked up by WSJ.
Earlier there was a case of where Apple went after a Amazon seller for selling some fake Apple product.

Now about you claim "Counterfeit goods are everywhere", I am still looking everywhere just to see.
Well, yeah. There are travel advisors for people going abroad.  The are saying it.: "Counterfeit goods are everywhere."
But I was surprised to see it on Amazon.   :'(
