Title is a little clickbaity as they only provide 1 instance of this happening. And the Kickstarter was basically a modified selfie stick(in a case)

Though I suspect that it could or does happen. Especially on something relatively straight forward to manufacture from the right people. I find this particular example kind of a non issue.

I do hope that as 3d printing develops and manufacturing items such as the article references, this just becomes a non issue and people share ideas on relatively simple toys.
