This is the one that's starting to really surprise me. You generally expect there to be counterfeit versions of items that are expensive or easy to replicate, but I've now received counterfeit:

* Burts Bees face wipes

* 3M command strips

* Curad alcohol prep pads

... and quite a few others. The alcohol prep pads were the most unexpected, but also the easiest to spot because I buy them all the time at Costco and other stores.
