I am wondering though, if retailers are allowed to re-certify 'faulty' goods as working, like the manufacturers do.

A lot of stuff that gets sent back isn't always broken. For example the problem with the wireless card could be coincidental interference. Manufacturers re-test it, and if it is working fine, they clean it up and rebox it and re-sell it. Its legal. It is only classed as reconditioned if parts had to be replaced because they were faulty.
