The cause is already known. Here's an alternative - using Array.reduce for your method:

console.log( [1, 2, 3].reduce( (a, b) => a * b ) );

  .map( (v, i) => i + 1 )
  .reduce( (a,b) => a * b )
  .toLocaleString());

// for empty arrays, use some initial value
const arr = [];
if (arr.reduce( (a, b) => a * b, -1 ) === -1) {
  console.error(`The given array ${arr} is empty`);
}
