There have been reports of UV-C bulbs being repackaged as "party lights" and sold on eBay/Amazon/etc. So it is possible they had no idea.
You often get class 3B lasers being sold as 3R which is extremely dangerous. I opted to pay a lot more for a green laser for astronomy purposes on a legit website then buy dirt cheap on Amazon because I don't want to blind/injure myself or others.
