Fake Fisher Price Rocker!

Just entered in new chapter of life, the motherhood. Life as a mother is really tough especially for breast feeding mum! Still taking some time to get ourselves familiar with our new family member and new lifestyle. Going to cinema, eating at the roadside hawker stores, late night shopping or mamak yum cha no longer valid anymore in our new lifestyle.

That's enough for the rant. Purpose of this post is to share the fact of fake Fisher Price product in the market so that there will be no more victim like us who bought a fake product. The story started when we saw a good deal of the Fisher Price Portable Rocker from the Lazada website. The price was 30-40% cheaper from the retail price. Being a new parent, we are pretty excited when we saw the deal and proceed to purchase the rocker.

We are skeptical with the product quality when the rocker was delivered to us as we notice the box is different from the one we saw from retail and the rocker parts were in poor quality whereby there are dirts on the parts. Also we find that the part's color is also different from the one we at retail and the whole rocker structure was flimsy. We are concerned whether this product is safe for our little one. We really disappointed with this fake product maker as this is a children product. Safety is most important aspect and should not be taken lightly.

Thus, we start Google around and we are shocked to found out that there are fake Fisher Price products floating in the market. Sad thing is seems like Fisher Price is not taking any steps to stop this. They only advise to buy their products from reputable retail stores. Well, Lazada is considered as one of the reputable online store right? Anyway to make the story short, we return the rocker to Lazada and requested for a refund. We also went to 'reputable' store to get a GENUINE Fisher Price rocker.

Quick tips how to recognize fake Fisher Price product:
1. Product color is overly bright and poor quality
2. Genuine Fisher Price product should have embossed with wording "Fisher Price" at the toy and clip
3. The structure of the product should be strong and sturdy. 

That's all for now. Hopefully Fisher Price will seriously look in the fake product matter or at least something that let customer differentiate between genuine and fake product.
