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 radiationemitting 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
18
to take action if wireless phones are shown
to emit radiofrequency 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.
