Q: Find my phone has unknown device

After opening the "Find iPhone" app on my iPad, it has my two devices listed as always, but now it also shows an unknown device listed.  The name is ",Y".    It's obviously an error or some system glitch.  How did that get there and how do I remove it?

iPhone 5, iOS 6

    Year and a half later and no responses?

     

    I, too, have an unknown device... I'm pretty it was one I returned to Best Buy after wiping it clean...

     

    So, Erase and then Remove from Account?!

     

    What happens to the poor sod who purchased it legitimately from BB? 

     

    Or, does the fact that it has the name I gave it indicate that it wasn't fully erased?  (It only had a few apps on it, nothing personal.)
