If someone claims to be offering a product according to a trademarked
name, but then substitutes a different product for the consumer, then
this does raise some issues.

But we'd need to figure out whether it is:

1) Someone asks for a bottle of Coke and is given a bottle of Pepsi
instead (and the seller explains they are out of Coke and asks if
Pepsi is OK)

or

2) Someone gets Pepsi out of a Coke machine with no notice whatsoever.

or

3) Someone is putting Pepsi in Coke bottles


#3 is more classically a trademark issue.
