When I arrived, I checked to see if it was legitimate, and… it was not. It was a knock-off.

It was fine as a ladle. It ladled things. I never would’ve noticed or complained if I hadn’t seen the rules. No harm, no foul, right?

Absolutely not. That day I made a rule that I do not buy anything that goes on your skin, in your body, or health and safety kit from Amazon. If I can’t trust their ladles are authentic, I can’t trust their sunscreen or thermometers are authentic.

So, while the ladle didn’t harm me directly, it did pretty significant change my purchase habits.
