Laura Smith pretty much said the exact same thing at a 2012 forum. The
FCC will not take any blanket action against manufacturers unless
Congress approves and directs it to do so.
You can complain to the FCC all you want - and in specific instances
letters will be written or specific products might be taken off the
market - but they have no mandate to impose significant test or
compliance requirements on manufacturers or importers. Many consumer
appliances and devices are covered by broad exemptions from EMC
compliance, relying on the must-not-interfere requirement to manage the
problem on a case-by-case basis instead of extending radiated and
conducted limits below 30 MHz.
Talk to your representatives to educate them about the problem and why
it is important. Broadcasters and wireless data providers are also
starting to realize that the rising noise floor is hurting them, too,
and they have money so it's nice to have them sending the same message.

I think it will be more productive complaining to our Congresspeople than to an
impotent FCC.
