CERTIFIED EQUIPMENT DESTRUCTION

In fact, Canon USA is involved in an ongoing lawsuit regarding the rebadging and resale of their own factory seconds, according to Photography Bay.

As part of their lawsuit, Canon are suing for their costs involved with servicing these “gray market products,” since consumers who bought the re-badged yet defective Canon products believed that they were purchasing genuine Canon equipment, and understandably went directly to Canon when the product proved defective.

In short, no company wants their customers to deal with their factory seconds, or any kind of defective or unsalable equipment.

Thankfully, there is a simple way of disposing of your defective equipment that leaves absolutely no risk that the equipment could later be repurposed or resold without your knowledge.
