tmoning Report post Posted June 9, 2011 Dometic is notifying consumers that its Brisk Air RV air conditioner and heat pump models appear to have been counterfeited by a Chinese company. According to a news release issued by Dometic Group, the models are being sold into the RV industry under the brand name Advent. Brad Sargent, vice president of marketing of Elkhart, Ind.-based Dometic, said the Advent air conditioner “seems to be purposely made to look like our Brisk Air models at a glance in order to trick people into thinking it’s the same product.” Dometic is evaluating its legal options against the Chinese company and the Advent product, the news release states. In the meantime, Dometic encourages consumers to use caution before purchasing these products. “Dometic has made a long-term commitment to the industry through its people and operations,” said Doug Whyte, president of Dometic Americas. He urges consumers to be wary of products and organizations with no track record behind them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
