The database they are been pulled from has a different character set to the one being used to display them.

Run the text through a character decoder. Or change your Databases charset to a compatible one.

Depending on how you are pulling your products onto the page, the text being used is probably not in a UTF-8 Charset format.

We can't really tell you how to fix it without knowing how the text is being produced on the pages in question.
