LOL, that is the weirdest device label I ever saw. I'm pretty sure
that this is the actual device label as printed. Please cross-check
with

  sudo blkid /dev/sd*

and look at the LABEL="..." attributes. Unfortunately there is no
readily availble program to change the disk label for vfat partitions,
so you either need to reformat your stick with

  sudo mkdosfs -n "yourlabel" <device>

or grab a hex editor and change the volume label in-place.
