Summary
The FCC updated its Covered List rules to make new overseas-manufactured robot vacuum models from brands including Dreame, Roborock, and Samsung ineligible for FCC equipment authorization, citing cybersecurity and supply-chain risk to U.S. critical infrastructure; only newly authorized devices are affected, not units already in consumers' homes.
