Part 15 is pretty clear that any harmful interference should be minimized[1]. Even though it's low power that doesn't mean that it still can't be picked up. Just because equipment is sold at retail doesn't give you a free pass on it.

Take powerline ethernet where the power levels are "low" but still can cause significant issues[2].
