If there was an issue, it would have been found several months ago, and if the issue was severe, the edition would have been cancelled then, but waiting until all were boxed up, and ready to go out to customers is what is raising red flags. Some may want to pass the blame on the retailers which isnt right, the blame goes to Warner Games/Warner Brothers for this "oh its a quality control issue" nonsense.
The free DLC as an apology is a joke and what WB doesn't seem to understand is alot of people are pissed because they now can't go and get the $99.99 limited edition because those too are sold out. There simply needs to be an explanation given by Warner as to WHY they waited until six days before release. Not a watered down excuse but the truth as to why they didn't catch these quality control/technical issues months ago and then reported it canceled....simply put, why wait until a day or two before they were shipping to customer and six days before launch? That isn't too much to ask....
For what's it worth though Best Buy has made no effort to contact me about my pre-order, it still shows as "processing".....

Do you have confirmation that these were in-fact shipped to the retailers and are boxed in warehouses? Please source it if so. I've got contacts who may be able to procure me one if they are in-fact stateside somewhere in a warehouse or shipping facility.
I haven't heard anything else to that effect though. If these were already produced, my thoughts are either some paint was found to be unsafe at a later date, or there was some sort of unsafe/hazardous material or contaminant discovered late in the game at either the manufacturing, the assembling, or the packaging plant for these. But I've got no sources (yet) on that, just a guess.
