No, IP was caught re-producing BD products. IP was involved in the counterfeiting of BD products. BD is a REAL registered WHO-GMP Pharmaceutical company. The real BD is in business, the company was re-structured in 2008 and is up and running, well and alive.
Perhaps we are talking about a different BD??? BD Pharmaceuticals is the REAL company, BD Gear, etc etc are counterfeits. All BD Pharm products will have a BD-PSS code that is concealed underneath a hologram. This code can be typed into their authentication system to verify the products legitimacy.
Now, the challenge is finding a legit pharmacy that sells legit BD. However, the new stuff is hard to replicate. If the security code isn't there and it doesn't register in BD's authentication system, it's a counterfeit! The old stuff was easy to counterfeit because these security measures weren't in place. Also, keep in mind, you can't purchase the products directly from BD as they simply manufacture the products and distribute them to AUTHORIZED retailers (pharmacies).
