Counterfeit Regal cigarettes reported in the United Kingdom
A report described counterfeit cigarettes sold as supposedly duty-free Regal products. The alleged products were linked to illegal Chinese manufacturing and were reported to contain unhygienic or hazardous materials. The incident concerned counterfeit goods rather than legitimate Regal production, but it raised consumer-safety, tax, and brand-protection concerns.
