Federal agents seized three shipments of fake designer sunglasses with an estimated retail value of more than $12 million at the Los Angeles-Long Beach port complex. U.S. Customs and Border Protection said the 78,600 pairs of sunglasses arrived in three shipments from China looking "confusingly similar" to designer brands Coach, Gucci and Emporio Armani.
