"Scotch Bonnet" and Scorpion peppers

Hi! Recently my father came home from the store with these 2 containers filled with what was labeled Scotch Bonnet and Scorpion peppers. What was labeled the scorpion I ate raw and had some really serious heat that gave me intense stomach pain for about 8 hours after eating. So, I put them in the freezer because I couldn't handle that again for a few days lol. However, the "scotch bonnet" was not even a detectible amount of spice. I assume that it'd be a jamacian mushroom but I was curious if these peppers are all accurate to their label! (: Thank you for any help you can provide.
