FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center
for Devices and Radiological Health Consumer
Update on Mobile Phones:
1. Do wireless devices pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any
health problems are associated with using wireless devices.
There is no proof, however, that wireless devices are absolutely
safe. Wireless devices emit low levels of Radio Frequency (RF)
energy in the microwave range while being used. They also
emit very low levels of RF when in standby mode. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating
tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce
heating effects causes no known adverse 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
devices?
Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of
radiation-emitting consumer products such as wireless devices
before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical
devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if
wireless devices 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 devices
to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace, or
recall the devices so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA
regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the wireless device
industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
