Have a concern to report related to a potential counterfeit product? Fill in form below.

Have a concern to report related to a potential counterfeit product? Fill in form below.

At 3M, we are committed to doing all we can to help combat counterfeit activity. We take these matters very seriously and we will review your report as quickly as possible. However, please understand that we may not be able to provide a definitive answer about the authenticity of an individual product, especially if it was not purchased from a 3M authorised reseller.

If you are unsure about the legitimacy of a particular reseller, have you asked the reseller for proof that it is authorised by 3M and that the goods are authentic?  Does the purported documentation appear suspect in any way?


  • Please complete as much of the information requested below as possible. Fields marked with an asterisk are required. Once you submit this report, you will receive an email notification that 3M has received the report. We request that you reply to that email and attach any copies of invoices, contracts, pictures of product and any other relevant documentation that can help us to investigate the situation.
