A Kingston
businessman accused of selling counterfeit toilet paper on the local market
appeared in court Tuesday on charges that he breached the Trade Mark Act.
Owen Collins, 44, was nabbed last month after the local company which holds the rights to the Pure Joy Toilet Tissue reported to the Organised Crime Unit that a counterfeit version of the brand was being sold on the local market.
The Organised Crime Unit raided Mr. Collins' business place on Luke Lane in Downtown, Kingston on June 9 and seized one thousand boxes of toilet paper which had the characteristics of the Pure Joy brand.
The cops say they seized a total of 24,000 rolls of toilet paper.
Mr. Collins who was released on a $250,000 bond has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
He is scheduled to return on July 23.
