Is this seriously true? Retailers who sell products whose manufacturers have violated a copyright license without the retailer's knowledge are liable? That seems a little hard to believe.
Most certainly, they are distributing binaries covered by the GPL which source is not available for. One tactic to force compliance is to go after retailers, when a retailer can't legally sell a product, they won't order more.
