Brand Infringement?

   Today I went to Rite Aid.  Near the checkout is a fully stocked display of small boxes with what appeared to be the Entenmann's brand beneath a sign reading "Candles."  Each box bore the descriptive label of pumpkin spice, vanilla cream or whatever.  I thought the sign may have read Candies--it's lower case with only one slim letter difference.  I picked one up, a small square box with what looks like the authentic Entenmann's colors and branding.  It is indeed a candle, with a delicious-sounding scent (flavor) and most likely aroma too, though I didn't smell anything through the sealed package.
   I can't believe this is a genuine product, but neither can I believe anyone who has ever heard of a recall would  stock such an item in their store.  I wonder what they taste like....
