I was under the impression that all heated plastic releases cancer causing carcinogens, so why are companies able to sell products who’s instructed cooking method is harmful to people’s health?

Two points that seem to be missed is the other answers, one I am sure of,the other, less so (but I still thinkbis right).
First, FDA does not approve food for sale. It can pull foods from the market, but there is no pre-market approval of foods in the same way there is for drugs. I am sure of this point.
Second (less sure), what you are talking about is not a food, but a product accompanying the food used in its preparation. I’m not sure FDA has the authority to regulate that. It might be a CPSC issue. If there are no reports of adverse incidents, or even a quantifiable measure of risk, I’m not sure CPSC would get involved.
