The product design of the silicone molds 'Eclipse' (in the original on the left) from the Italian company Silikomart was copied 1:1 from an unknown manufacturer in China. The packaging design, company name and product name are also (almost) identical - and therefore misleading. The inferior silicone has most likely never been properly heat-treated, which is mandatory for products that come into contact with food.
