The second is their problem, but the first is clearly untrue and 
illegal. Luckily there are only five such items at that link, while the 
others are more truthful (including some linked by others in this 
thread, although they seem to mention "Wikipedia" on the cover as a sign 
of approval), but these five must be corrected.
The WMF legals should be made aware of it, if they're not yet. In this 
case a letter to B&N probably suffices.
