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,
