Counterfeit bearings have been a growing problem in recent years, especially in the aftermarket. There are many Chinese knock-offs that will even mark the bearings with the OEM name on them and produce OEM packaging. There is no way of telling the difference unless the components are measured and the metallurgy is checked. Tolerances are measured in microns so a set of calipers won't cut it.
