Feds Accuse Man of Selling Counterfeit Airbags
A 25-year-old Vancouver, Wash., man was arrested April 2 on a four-count indictment charging him with trafficking in counterfeit goods.
Prosecutors allege that between June 2011 and June 2012, Vitaliy Yaremkiv sold more than 900 counterfeit vehicle airbags he had purchased from a source in China.
If convicted, Yaremkiv faces up to 10 years in prison and a $2 million fine. Trial in the case is scheduled for May 28.
According to the indictment, Yaremkiv operated a business, Vital Auto Parts and Sales, out of his Vancouver home. He allegedly imported counterfeit Honda, Subaru and Toyota airbags from sources in China and elsewhere, and sold them over the internet representing them as the genuine product.
Yaremkiv sold at least 964 of the counterfeit airbags via eBay with a sales total of $137,243. Yaremkiv sold individual Honda airbags for an asking price of $110. Investigators believe that many of the airbags were sold to independent garages who installed them in vehicles believing they had purchased a genuine airbag.
