I'm not sure if the law is the same in Canada, but in the U.S., you are not legally liable for something you receive by failing to refuse delivery. This is a law put in place to protect businesses (or anyone) from being shipped something expensive that they didn't order, and then being sent an invoice, and on failing to pay the invoice, getting sued for non-payment because they have the item in their possession. In the 90s, this was commonly done with cheaply printed multi-volume business directories that would invoice for thousands of dollars.
Aside from the customs charge fight with UPS, where she's absolutely in the right, I don't understand why this is causing her stress. If she's a bogus return address, then no one is coming to get the items and there's no expectation on her to do anything in particular with the items. She can keep what she likes and throw out the rest.
