This analogy is false, because mall doesn't handle goods directly, while Amazon does. It's not uncommon to get counterfeit item even in orders "fulfilled by Amazon". Amazon is more like supermarket imho, where you can "rent" shelf space and I'm pretty sure such supermarket would get into trouble if some of their renters would fill the shelves with counterfeit goods.

If the company who own the mall have their name over the shop door, have their workers inside it, process the transaction, have their name on the receipt, have their name as the receiver on the bank statement ... then yes, that company should not escape penalty just because they own the mall too.
