Showing that the danger of buying fake Lacoste goods is not restricted to online, a Northern UK retailer in Blackhall, County Durham was convicted and fined for selling counterfeit Lacoste, Nike apparel and potentially dangerous hair straighteners.

Remember, you should always check any Lacoste items you buy second-hand, online or from unfamiliar retailer using the instructions in my post on detecting counterfeit and fake Lacoste items. You can find more details on the case at the Northern Echo or Chronicle Live.
