One of the positive things about Amazon's culture is that they heavily emphasize blaming broken processes, not blaming people. I doubt the person involved will have any negative consequences beyond embarrassment.

I would be horrified if I learned that Amazon or any other company of such size in any way castigates employees for such very human errs. The guilt (don't beat yourself up) he or she likely feels is bad enough.
Anyway, to me this firstly sounds like a "tool" or command that was too powerful with not enough safeguards. Who knows, the command might even be ambiguous.
