Public Notice: Beware of Unauthorized Sellers Using TARGET Mark

Issuer: TARGET.

Purpose: Customers are warned against unauthorized shops and sellers using imitation TARGET marks and logos to sell counterfeit or unverified goods. Only purchases made from authorised TARGET outlets or retailers bearing the correct TARGET approval mark should be considered genuine.

Action required: Verify that the outlet displays the approved TARGET mark before purchasing. The notice shows the approved TARGET emblem (left) and two similar marks that are not authorised (centre and right) — avoid buying from outlets displaying those marks.

Consequences: TARGET will take legal action against misuse of its name, trademark and logos and against sellers dealing in counterfeit or unauthorised products.

Contact/Follow-up: Customers should report suspected unauthorised dealers or counterfeit sales to TARGET through its official customer service channels.
