I've sent CR enough subscription money over the years for them to entertain an email from me. Lately they have tested LED lamps (incandescent replacements, Edison based 120vac) with no mention of RFI, or radio noise, etc. They have consistently rated plasma sets highly with no RFI mentioned. It's not on their list.

What would you propose to say in your email to them that might be understandable to the staff that screens email? The meaning of RFI is probably not known to anyone but a ham or electronic engineer.

One recommendation:
Each and every ham who has a subscription to Consumer Reports should contact 
Consumer
Reports and request that they test every electronic device for RFI radiation.

I have sent messages several times, but we need lots of 'multiples'.  before 
they will take
action.  Whether it is a Plasma TV, a washing machine, or a LED light device, 
each should
be tested and documented.  Maybe that would help (even if it is just a mention).
