List,


 
As we all now the Chicoms do cheat on anything manufactured.


 
Where this affects us. 


 
Orange Drop is a registered trade mark of Sprague.  But they made a big mistake. They did notcopyright or trade mark the color.  Bigmistake.


 
Now out of Canada caps called *Orange Dip* are being sold.With the same color as the Sprague units and an almost identical name. Buyers probablythink they are getting the original *Drop* at a very favorable price.


 
I don’t know if these caps are good, bad, indifferent, or ofvarying quality from batch to batch.


 
My two issues are that this is clearly a knockoff stealingthe name of a good product.  This usuallymeans there is a quality problem. My other issue is that the seller doesn'tmake this difference known.  This isshame as people have spoken well of their products and business.


 
If these caps were the equivalent of the Sprague’s, theycould use a different name, color and tout they were as good, but cheaper.


Regards,


 
Perrier
