1. **Buy from Authorized Retailers:** As mentioned, purchasing from authorized ORION retailers is the most reliable way to ensure the authenticity of the product. You can find a list of authorized retailers on here.
2. **Check for Authenticity:** Many reputable brands use security features like holographic stickers, unique serial numbers, or QR codes to help customers verify the authenticity of their products. Always check for such features when you receive your product.

Counterfeit products are a common issue in many industries, so being vigilant and doing your due diligence can help you avoid purchasing fake products.
