Perhaps another approach is FCC enforcement against Amazon.

  at some point, knowingly selling banned equipment should bring down some form of punishment to be sure. it just seems that the gov't is scarred of public outcry for going after amazon and its ilk. it's like they don't want to spill the apple cart when the apple market is in "turmoil"?

    Not to mention Amazon's lobbying efforts.

      didn't even consider Amazon actively trying to protect their front like that, but of course they would. i still weep for the Citizens United decision

  Amazon started requiring FCC information on RF devices this year. Late is better than never. While Amazon -- given its vast resources -- has no excuse not be a good citizen, obviously the burden on retailers and marketplaces needs to be balanced. The local mom and pop toy shop selling a few uncertified RF-controlled cars isn't exactly the ideal place to initiate enforcement actions. I'd suggest volume importers or facilitators of volume imports.
