That's never stopped fake products from reaching legit store shelves before. There's been numerous instances where Walmart had fake memory cards on their shelves, with all the official looking logos and packaging, and they didn't even know it.
In those cases, it might be a fake SanDisk MicroSD card labeled as a 512GB, when really it's only a 256GB, but reflashed to trick the system into seeing it as a 512GB. Which is really bad once you've stored over 256GB on it, it starts overwriting existing data and corrupting everything.
Walmart doesn't manufacture the products, they just stock them and sell them. Even the great giant Walmart isn't immune to being conned by fake products. And just to think of all the wide variety of products they stock and sell, what really are the chances every single product is genuine?.. 🤔
