SEATTLE (AP) — Customs officers have seized another shipment of counterfeit detergent in Seattle.

Customs and Border Protection said Wednesday the shipment contained more than 52,000 packages of what looks like Ariel brand laundry detergent. Labels said it was made in Mexico but the shipment came from China.

Another shipment seized on Sept. 23 had about 3,600 packages of look-a-like Ariel and 5,000 packages of counterfeit Tide.
