additional research. In some cases, 
other researchers have had difficulty in 
reproducing those studies, or in 
determining the reasons for inconsistent 
results.

Under the law, 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 energy (RF) at a level that is 
hazardous to the user. 

In such a 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.

Although the existing scientific data do 
not justify FDA regulatory actions, 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
