© Aktion Plagiarius e.V.

3rd place in the Plagiarius competition 2019: The copycat - the company Zhejiang Keland Electric Applliance from Zhejiang, China - has adopted all the characteristic design features of the original (left) 1:1; however, the plagiarism of the Staub Cocotte roaster is not made of high-quality cast iron, but of cheap aluminum and costs only a tenth of the original. Various German and European retailers had sold the counterfeit, but have since issued cease-and-desist declarations.
