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 radiofrequency energy (RF)
at a level that is hazardous to
the user. In such a case, the FDA
86
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
Cooperate in providing users
of wireless phones with the
best possible information on
possible effects of wireless
phone use on human health.
