Counterfeit Marlboros

Marlboro maker Altria Group Inc. said Wednesday it is suing seven Chinese online retailers, alleging they sold counterfeit versions of its top-selling cigarette brands to customers in the U.S.[...]What! No health warning on counterfeit Marlboro cigarettes? Lord have mercy!
Counterfeit, or gray market cigarettes, are made with different materials and under different quality-control procedures than cigarettes sold in the U.S. and may not display the required health warnings, the company said in the complaint.[my bold]
