Federal officials seized tens of thousands of socks for diabetic users. The socks, they said, were counterfeit.
The 165,707 pairs of suspect diabetic socks were seized July 29 in the Norfolk area while headed for Loudoun County, Va. Had they been authentic, they would have been appraised at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of more than $2.6 million, CBP officials said.
Another shipment of counterfeit socks, valued at nearly $2 million, was seized last month by CBP in the area of the Port of Norfolk-Newport News, the agency said.
