Kimberly-Clark adds $2 million prosecution warning to new coupons

By:

Today’s new SmartSource is filled with coupons for Kimberly-Clark brands: Scott, Huggies, Kotex, Depend and others. Each of the K-C coupons in the insert also has a new warning emphasized in red text:

“Reproduction, alteration, proliferation, or sale of this coupon or its contents is strictly prohibited. Civil and criminal penalties up to $2,000,000 and/or imprisonment may apply.“

It seems Kimberly-Clark is stepping up its battle against coupon resellers and counterfeiters. My regular readers know that I am against coupon resale and clipping services for many reasons.

It will be very interesting to see if someone is prosecuted to this extent for selling K-C coupons — or if this has a self-policing effect on the resale community. Is making a few dimes selling coupons worth this kind of risk?

  1. Did anyone catch the unusual wording on the paper bag deal at Menards last week?

    Something to the effect of ‘in the spirit of this sale, one bag per customer and please do not ask our cashiers to ring up multiple transactions’.

    I got a little chuckle from that. :)
