        You need to either redirect the other pages to the URL you want, or make use the canonical tag.

          This has been happening for years. Here's my favorite post on the subject:

            Redirect and canonical speaks for itself. I don't want to use this. It has to be right from the beginning with no redirects and no canonical tags.

                In the case where a product can fit under many categories/sub-cats and there's a large number of products, it's better to have the product sit under the domain OR a dedicated product folder (/products/product-name). You're still able to link to this single product from many categories and you'll get a nicer looking URL structure.

                Magento has the option built in - System > Config > Catalog > SEO
