Do wireless phones
pose any special risks
to children?
The FDA/FCC website
states that “the scientific
evidence does not show
a danger to users of
wireless communication
devices, including
children.” The FDA/FCC
website further states
that “some groups
sponsored by other
national governments
have advised that
children be discouraged
from using wireless
phones at all”. For
example, the Stewart
Report from the United
Kingdom [“UK”] 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. [The UK’s]
recommendation to
limit cell phone use
by children was strictly
precautionary; it was
not based on scientific
evidence that any
health hazard exists.
