Walmart has been offering 3rd party sellers/products for more than a few months now, if I had to guess. I bought a USB cable from Cable Matters, but the names of some of the companies/sellers on Walmart's website also lead me to believe they are selling products which aren't certified and have the correct components to be safe with our devices.

Well, guess I'm going to have to find someone else to order from next time. This is just so disappointing, its like the retail version of flash ads.
Yeah I know what you mean, I just ordered a cable from Walmart.com the other day not realizing it was from a third party seller until after it shipped. Felt like a bait and switch.
For cables and chargers, try Monoprice.
