That's the result of irresponsible management, and a perfect example of how foolish people destroy a valuable brand. The Peter Principle in action, perhaps.
If a company by licensing allows its brand to be used on something, by that action alone, it most certainly "has something to do with it" and the company needs to act like it's aware of that fact, regardless of whether they are involved with the thing in any OTHER way.
