Too much information?

Went shopping yesterday to get daughter a snowsuit. Yes, we are a little late but I know better than to buy outerwear ahead of time and she would not wear them. Anyway, saw this pair of soft cords, decently priced (store closing) and then I saw the tag "Due to our dye finish, there may be color transfer on light clothing or uphostery." Now, who in their right mind would buy this?? Is that too much information? I guess it would be unethical not to disclose an inherent flaw but on the other hand, why would you? Why not take them off the shelves? Maybe they think some poor souls would just ignore the caution and buy it anyway? Just thought it's funny.
