Anker (http://www.anker.com/) does something very similar to this company -- except, I think, it has a smaller selection of products. Judging from reviews on Amazon, Anker is also doing very well for itself.

Anker instantly offers free replacements to anyone who posts a bad review.
It seems that policy could backfire? Eventually, they're basically subsidizing the production of bad reviews.
Possibly, depending on what rate this is happening. I'd wager that this gets them brownie points with the public, similar to a "connect with fans" approach. Chalk it up to a form of marketing and budget it that way.
