They don't know if it's dangerous. They don't look for proof that something is bad, they assume everything is bad. Then they look for proof that it's safe.
If Apple today wanted to spend the money in order to get all of their iPod/iPad/iPhone devices tested and approved, then they would be allowed. There's nothing stopping them from doing this other than the fact that it makes no business sense to do so. In the absence of said testing, the default is that they're not approved.
I doubt anybody thinks it's a serious risk, they're just saying that they don't know for sure.
Yes, I'm sure if there were 100% proof that the devices were dangerous the ban would be enforced a lot more seriously. That's not the way it works though.
The policy is:
Unknown = not allowed
Tested = allowed
Right now, all of these devices fall into "Unknown". It's as simple as that.
