This sort of thing happens all the time - the threats I mean - and companies don't realize that bad reviews are the perfect opportunities to openly address issues people have with their products.

I don't know the details of your situation, and please don't take this as advice, but if it were me and I thought I was within my rights to give a (non libelous) strong opinion on a company, I would. If they didn't like it and sent me a C&D just to be heavy handed and shut me up, I'd publicize their tactics.

Anyway, that's just me being the way I am because I've been threatened in the past (and won, after a lot of expense and headaches), but you have 2 choices really...

1. Pull the review and link and fuggedaboudit, or

2. Fight with them and the court system.

If you go for #2, be sure you have a bankroll and lots of time and energy to waste. And stock up on antacid tablets too ;-)
