"Apple released iOS 7.0.6 to patch a vulnerability which, if unpatched, could allow attackers to capture or modify data in sessions protected by SSL/TLS. However, quite a few users have reported that the upgrade didn't go as planned and their iDevices have been bricked after the update or during the update process. Users have flocked to Twitter as well as Apple support forums voicing their concerns and frustrations as quite a few users have tried updating their iOS 7 devices while on the move and once bricked, their iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch requires a connection to iTunes to restart."

Often the returns policy is one sided for the stores compared to the manufacturer and they lose out on returns, so I can see why they'd try and reduce the return rate (of course the bigger problem is that some places will just accept anything to be returned and charge it back to the manufacturer).
I'm sure I heard once that there was a similar number to call if you were unhappy with the quality of some cheese, so it's not just high-price electronics that is affected.
