Misspelled stickers is how you recognize Chinese clones/counterfeits.

Labels like that are quite frequently a sign that you're dealing with a counterfeit product or something that has been places where it shouldn't.


If I’m spending thousands of dollars on these devices, I expect them to not screw up something like that.

It would not be the first time someone sends a device for RMA to be told it’s out of warranty because it has been tampered, when in reality it was a manufacturing mistake.


It's a sign that there wasn't any QA whatsoever - if they have missed something as obvious as a typo on a label, how can you assume that all the technical parameters of the components are up to spec?


Yes.
