This is a really stupid mistake for a company to make, the outcry is way worse than one bad review. Googling "KlearGear" now brings up a ton of bad press. I guess it's relatively easy for a company like this to change their name and do the same things though?

Agreed. Someone running the company was not smart enough to realize that the likelihood of them collecting the $3500 was low, and when the couple first hit the press with the "fine" they should have backed off and claimed it was some mistake. I don't know what blinds people from what seems like common sense.
