ALERT TO ALL RETAILERS, DISTRIBUTORS AND CONSUMERS: Counterfeits of the Talavera™ Split-Ender® by RevoStyler products, have been introduced to the market.

If you are an Authorized Split-Ender¨ Distributor, dealer or retailer with fake Split-Enders in your possession you have the responsibility to immediately report them to our company customer service or you could be held liable for infringing on our Trademark, Patents and other property rights. Please check your stock and see if you are a victim of this FAKE Split-Ender sold to your store. We will sincerely appreciate your reporting this to us... and your customers will too.

The Split-Ender®, a product by Splendor Products, Inc. and made popular through infomercials earlier on 2003, hit retail locations only months after. It took no time at all though for a counterfeit ring to ride on the success of this inventive hair product.

Unidentified sources have been manufacturing and selling counterfeit Split-Enders to stores and Internet retailers under the guise of Splendor Products, Inc. These fake Split-Enders are made with sub-par materials and poor quality control standards.

Any Retailer, Distributor or Consumer who has purchased a Split-Ender is urged to check their product to confirm it is the original.

HOW TO IDENTIFY THE ORIGINAL SPLIT-ENDER VERSUS THE COUNTERFEIT SPLIT-ENDER.

The knock-off units are reported to have “TWO DIMPLES” on the bottom-side of the handle below the RevoStyler logo, while the original Split-Ender has no dimples
Also, The RevoStyler logo is reported to be made of a “STICKER”, while the original is painted.
Also, The Rotating Blade is reported to have an “ARROW” stamped in the center of the rotating blade, while the original do NOT have it.
PLEASE BEWARE THAT THE RETAIL BOX IS MADE SIMILAR TO THE ORIGINAL SPLIT-ENDER BY REVO USING THE SAME NAME, TRADEMARKS AND PICTURES! SO FAR WE HAVE FOUND THAT THE COUNTERFEIT BOX GROVE LINES RUN HORIZONTAL TO THE BOX WHILE THE ORIGINAL RUNS VERTICAL ON THE BOX!
