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. A copy
of the UK’s leaflet is available at http://
