I am not sure procedures would be that tight in a fake company set up by
a secret organization, or their customers. With thousands of booby
trapped products manufactured there is the risk some went astray.

That's just it - I doubt there would have been thousands of booby
trapped devices made. The
risk of handling that much explosive would have been too high. This is
likely one or a few
boxes of the goods on their way to Hezbollah intercepted and replaced
with identical ones
that were booby trapped.
