Hi Lisa,
Welcome to e2e!
Thanks for reaching out about this, we are looking into it and will update you before the end of tomorrow Dallas time.
Thanks,

Hi Lisa,
Unfortunately, we do not believe that this reel is authentic as we cannot find a ULN2803ADWR lot that corresponds with this reel and the label does not meet our expectations for what CSO and ASO should be.
Thanks,
Patrick
Hi Lisa,
TI doesn't have a process for submitting counterfeit products. However, it is necessary to buy directly from TI or from an authorized distributer to avoid this happening in the future.
Do you have further questions I can assist with?
Thanks,
Patrick
