A conical hennin There is often some mislabelling in terms of what style or type of headwear the escoffion falls under. Often, it is categorised as a separate kind of medieval headwear called hennin, often being referred to as a "two-horned-" or "heart-shaped hennin", etc. However, it is important to make a distinction between the hennin and the escoffion, as the escoffion was a distinct piece of headwear in terms of its design. The hennin was typically a tall, conical headdress, to which long strips of gauze or silk were sometimes attached.

Pu'er is a microbially fermented tea obtained through the action of molds, bacteria and yeasts on the harvested leaves of the tea plant. It is thus truly a fermented tea, whereas teas known in the west as black teas (known in China as Red teas) have only undergone large-scale oxidation through naturally occurring tea plant enzymes. Mislabelling the oxidation process as fermentation and thus naming black teas, such as Assam, Darjeeling or Keemun, as fermented teas has long been a source of confusion. Only tea such as pu'er, that has undergone microbial processing, can correctly be called a fermented tea.

The Fordham Environmental Law Review published an article explaining the impacts of the toxic waste imposed on Nigeria in further detail: > "Mislabelling the garbage as fertilizers, the Italian company deceived a > retired/illiterate timber worker into agreeing to store the poison in his > backyard at the Nigerian river port of Koko for as little as 100 dollars a > month. These toxic chemicals were exposed to the hot sun and to children > playing nearby. They leaked into the Koko water system resulting in the > death of nineteen villagers who ate contaminated rice from a nearby farm." This is just one example of how the traditional trade flow, from developed Western countries has severely, unfairly, and disproportionately impacted developing countries in the Global South.

During Mikhail Gorbachev's anti-alcohol campaign, many old Georgian vineyards were cut off. Georgian wine has been a contentious issue in recent relationships with Russia. Political tensions with Russia have contributed to the 2006 Russian embargo of Georgian wine, Russia claimed Georgia produced counterfeit wine. It was an "official" reason, but instability of economic relations with Russia is well known, as they use the economic ties for political purposes. Counterfeiting problems stem from mislabelling by foreign producers and falsified “Georgian Wine” labels on wines produced outside of Georgia and imported into Russia under the auspices of being Georgian produced. Some winemakers in Georgia have also been known to import grapes and produce “falsified” Georgian Wine, leading then defense minister Irakli Okruashvili to note in 2006 that “[He thought] several wineries that are still producing fake wine in Gori should be closed”.
