As you chip away at your holiday shopping list, beware of counterfeit items. Beloved Oklahoma brands are constantly in battle with fakes, including Eskimo Joe’s.
During their 50 years in business, the fight against fake merchandise has been a constant struggle.
“We’ve caught several unscrupulous actors,” said Stan Clark, the CEO of Eskimo Joe’s. “But, [it] seems to be really ramping up right now.”
