They would be counterfeit breakers.... Square D has sued manufactures that have made Square D counterfeit breakers.
Only the manufactures' Listed breaker for the manufactures' electrical panel can be installed in the electrical panel per NEC code.
The counterfeit Square D breakers were found to be the cause of electrical fires because the breakers were not tripping open on overload current and or short circuit condition faults.
If you buy a new home built after 2009 most of the 120V 15 and 20 amp branch circuits used for lighting and receptacles have to be AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) type breakers. Receptacles have to be tamper resistant for child safety. I do not believe any current Hi-Fi duplex receptacles sold today are tamper resistant.
