EcoSmart washing their hands of bad reviews by discontinuing SKU?

I got a two pack of EcoSmart 1004823825 LED based solid state fluorescent lamp with built-in motion sensor.

The solid state fluorescent lamp elements, LED ballast, and motion sensor are all built in the shape of a flood light bulb.
The issue is that it likes to stay on all the time no matter what and if it does shut off, it turns itself back on without any motion being detected. I am not seeing this on their website anymore and the SKU doesn't show up on their site.

I'm wondering if Home Depot clearance out crap products like this, then remove the SKU form their system to prevent people from seeing track record of EcoSmart like products.

Both bulbs in the package perform erratically.

Too much functionality in too small a package is a problem. I wonder if the motion sensor just can't figure out what "motion" is. I have a motion sensor front doorbell and I had to turn THAT off because it couldn't figure out what was or wasn't "motion".
