LIXIL's New Initiative Against Imitation Water Cartridges

In recent years, the surge of counterfeit and substandard water purification cartridges has become a significant concern for consumers. Responding to this issue, LIXIL Corporation, a leader in home and building solutions, is taking action to promote awareness about the safety of water products. They are launching an exciting event called 'Can't Find Them!? Protect Your Home! The Real Find the Mistakes!' This interactive experience is designed for families, offering fun while educating them on how to identify authentic products from imitations.

Scheduled to take place from November 19 to November 23, 2025, the event will be held at the Ariake Garden in Koto City, Tokyo. The aim is to shed light on the deceptive nature of counterfeit products, which often look strikingly similar to genuine items, making it difficult for consumers to differentiate between them. These imitation products have found their way onto major e-commerce platforms, creating a risk that customers might unknowingly purchase subpar alternatives.

To ensure customer safety, LIXIL has committed to selling their water purification cartridges exclusively through their official e-commerce platform, LIXIL Store. Their dedication to quality means that all products are manufactured in Japan with stringent quality control measures.

The 'Real Find the Mistakes!' event will feature two life-sized kitchen setups where families can search for hidden discrepancies. The challenge is not only entertaining but also educational, allowing participants to learn about the importance of choosing genuine water purification cartridges—essential for ensuring safe drinking water.
