Product review (1 stars): Received a counterfeit as well.
I had issues with this particular filter, which disrupted the flow of my water through the dispenser. The filter is hard to install and leaks. I thought i bought an actual Samsung Filter. After looking at reviews from other customers, it appears that this particular filter is a counterfeit.  It does not fit correctly. What I don't understand is why Amazon would actually say it's authentic when it's not. Of course, now I can't return it since I just installed it and I bought this more than 30 days ago.
