Do wireless phones pose a health hazard? The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless phones.
  • Page 72 case, 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.

If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do not know that there is--it is probably very small.

  • Page 75 precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists. Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce risks from exposure to RF emissions?
