Funnily enough, the image the Guardian have used is not the CE marking, it's the so-called China Export mark that means to gull buyers into thinking the product is CE assessed.
That's a myth tho
Tho finding CE marking on goods that shouldn’t have them (typically from china bought via ebay/ali/etc) is not particularly hard.
But yes, even my company has had mishaps with the CE logo on our products, and in that case it’s not because we are trying to be misleading. The primary reason in our case was that the laser printer software is shite and sometimes just changes things for “fun”.
That's true but then it's a story about companies being deceitful and not Le Evil China creating a confusing mark to trick people
