No, that will have no effect at all on the company's products. It will just result in a few hours of frustration for the user of the equipment, followed by an attempt to recalibrate it to fix the random errors, followed by putting it at the back of the cupboard while a decent replacement is purchased.
Clue : Oscilloscope readings are not used in isolation with their effects cast forever into a design. They're one of many things used to help see what's going on and contribute to a result.
The one area it might have an effect is if the scope is used to implement some production margin tests. There, it might (if you knew *exactly* how it was used), either fail too many products (causing some extra costs until the reason for more rejects was investigated) or pass too many (causing a possible problem for a customer and maybe, if enough 0.1% probabilities in a line came out badly, some loss of reputation).
If you replaced the ink in a company's biros with fast-fading 'secret' ink, do you think it would bring the company to it's knees ? Or just cause some minor inconvenience until somebody worked it out ?
