health effects. Many studies of
low level RF exposures have not
found any biological effects.
Some studies have suggested
that some biological effects
may occur, but such findings
have not been confirmed by
additional research. In some
cases, other researchers have
had difficulty in reproducing
those studies, or in determining
the reasons for inconsistent
results.
2. What is the FDA's role
concerning the safety of
wireless phones?
Under the law, the FDA does not
review the safety of radiation
emitting consumer products
such as wireless phones before
they can be sold, as it does
with new drugs or medical
devices. However, the agency
has authority to take action if
wireless phones are shown to

emit radio frequency energy (RF)
at a level that is hazardous to
the user. In such a case, the FDA
could require the manufacturers
of wireless phones to notify
users of the health hazard and
to repair, replace, or recall the
phones so that the hazard no
longer exists.
Although the existing scientific
data do not justify FDA
regulatory actions, the FDA
has urged the wireless phone
industry to take a number of
steps, including the following:
•
Support needed research into
possible biological effects of RF
of the type emitted by wireless
phones;
•
Design wireless phones in a
way that minimizes any RF
exposure to the user that is not
necessary for device function;
and
