The FDA would likely only be involved in certifying lasers for use in
medical applications. I believe the Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS) regulates lasers in consumer equipment. There
probably are other agencies involved in other circumstances. With our
wonderful Federal Government beauracracy, it isn't an either-or
proposition.
Free trade, indeed...
