foist
Pass off deceitfully
To foist something on someone is to impose it on them against their will or without their knowledge.
The word carries a sense of deception or unfairness—passing off something unwanted, inferior, or false: They tried to foist the blame on the new employee.
The salesman foisted a lemon on the unsuspecting buyer.
You can foist responsibilities, opinions, or substandard goods.
