Mostly a question of importing products that don't belong on this
market, or buying uncertified "cheap stuff" from eBay. HomePlug uses
OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing) with a total of 1155
available subcarriers. Any subcarrier that directly overlaps with (or
causes harmonic distortion in) allocated radio spectrum will be turned
off before the product ships.

Especially if you know what testing a product goes through before that
little FCC ID appears on it... it makes actual retail products causing
this very unlikely.
With regard to "cheap stuff", there is a documented case of a baby
monitor in Luton interfering with aircraft radio traffic:

If you keep to normal retail channels Mark, I wouldn't worry.

Tony V.
