If there is a problem, it ought to be with the CD drive being used to play the CD. There is nothing in the CD drive itself that would interfere with playing the CD, so the problem is probably with the software. Granted, the CD drive might have embedded software.

If a compact disk drive is capable of playing all ISO-9660 standard CDs, then it is performing as advertised.

If a "compact disk" that fails to comply with the ISO-9660 standard (actually, even to advertise such a disk by that name in a trademark infringement) fails to play in an ISO-9660 standard compact disk player, the liability for consumer fraud clearly rests with the producer and/or vendor of the former.
