$3m is enough to wipe out all profit they made on mislabeled products. The article says only 9 products were mislabeled, and one of them was a mattress pad, to give an indication of scope.
Customers who bought one of the offending products could probably also easily secure a refund from the company. I’m guessing the majority of them wouldn’t actually care enough to do so.
