Apple sues over alleged fakes

Apple Inc. says it has been buying Apple chargers and cables labeled as genuine on Amazon.com and has found nearly 90% of them to be counterfeit.

The revelation comes in a federal lawsuit filed by Apple against a New Jersey firm this week. In the suit, the Cupertino, Calif., tech giant says Mobile Star imprinted Apple logos on cables and chargers that “pose a significant risk of overheating, fire, and electrical shock.”
