> what is the consumer harm

Fires from bootleg phone chargers and the like. (Google for "phone charger fire" to see how often this happens.)

Explosions from bootleg batteries.

Sickness from bootleg water filters and food.

What if you bought CO/ALR receptacles to bring a home with Aluminum wiring up to code, but the terminals weren't made from Indium?

What if you bought a marine battery for your sump pump backup, but it failed to perform and/or failed to notify you of its impending death?

I can continue from here, but I think you get the point.
