Review on Samsung HAFCIN Refrigerator Water Filter - 3 Pack, Genuine DA29-00020B Replacement, White, 3 Count: Top-Notch Filtering for Samsung Electronics Fridges by Bob Randles

Excellent NFS/ANSI 53 certified filters for removing lead, mercury and more. UNLESS the ones you receive are fakes! Unfortunately, with filters, all you have to do is rely on a real product and trust for them to actually work. I have ordered them from Revain 3 times in the last 3+ years. The first 2 times I'm pretty sure I got genuine tested and certified Samsung filters. But on my last order in May 2018 I probably received counterfeits which I just returned (thanks Revane): these latest filters had missing lot numbers, had a disclaimer on the labels about not being tested by NFS or ANSI, and that Among other things, the product brochure lacked certifications. I contacted Samsung and looked at the same product they listed on their website which confirmed it was probably fake. Then today I got the product directly from the OEM at a slightly lower price (with a subscription service where you can set the frequency and there are no shipping costs). The product I just received from the OEM had lot numbers, NFS/ANSI 42, 53 and 401 test certifications, copies of the California certifications in the brochure and all marks of authenticity. Revain is so handy that it was a huge disappointment to discover that they probably aren't real filters, as others have noted with this article.
