The problem with regulatory agencies is that they go around looking for things to regulate.
However, if a manufacturer is marketing an unsafe product, be it exploding batteries in a cell phone or unsafe ammunition, the products should be removed from the market place. The requirement to have a license should carry a responsibility to manufacture safe products, not just get the squares checked for having no previous criminal activity.
What would be the correct place to take this up? SAAMI? At SAAMI, the standards are voluntary. I would hate for anyone have to take an ammo manufacturer to court because their product blew a person's finger off. Or worse.
And then, if someone decides to take indirect action by naming names in a forum such as this, the so-call manufacturer can sue the OP, and anyone else in sight...
What is a shooter to do?
This sort of reminds me of the time that I got 100 unfired 35 Whelen cases right after the cartridge was standardized that had incorrect head space (shoulder was a bit too far back). The manufacturer replaced them, but it took a letter and a couple of phone calls.
Hopefully, this problem will be resolved the same way.
