Please do!

You say they are a reputable brand, well, in that case if they are mislabelled they'll want to know. If someone 'out there' is making counterfeits, again they'll want to know.

It's even possible that they may be genuine, but known internal rejects, but a dishonest employee has intercepted them en route to the skip to flog them and make some easy money. Again, they'll want to know.
