For Your Safety 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 to take action if wireless phones are shown to emit Radio Frequency (RF) energy 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 does 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 28 | User Guide

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 (RF)
energy 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 does 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
