Important Health and Safety Information 15
Some groups sponsored by other national
governments have advised that children
be discouraged from using cell phones
at all. For example, The Stewart Report
from the United Kingdom made such a
recommendation in December 2000. In
this report, a group of independent experts
noted that no evidence exists that using
a cell phone causes brain tumors or other
ill effects. Their recommendation to limit
cell phone use by children was strictly
precautionary; it was not based
on scientiic evidence that any health
hazard exists.
