I'm about to get in a GIANT fight with CREE. The 6 LED Ceiling Can replacements in the house when on low, completely jam both mine and my neighbors garage door openers, and all 3 ceiling fan remotes in the house. Good thing we're in a cable neighborhood..

Maybe in a rush to market, Cree didn't test the emissions of the lamp assembly with the metal can (?). I could see how the can may act as an amplifier/antenna for the lamp. Is the interference around 2.4 Ghz or do the fan and garage remote devices operate at a different frequency?
I bet the FCC has a building full of people just waiting to find offenders like this (from previous Gov't. contacts, I'm assuming).
FWIW, I treated a remote control interference problem, once. The fix was to use a ferrite on the power source of the offender. This was a DC device.
