Cell Phone Accessories that Claim to Shield the Head from 
RF Radiation
Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions 
from cell phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories which 
claim to shield the head from those emissions reduce risks. Some 
products that claim to shield the user from RF absorption use special 
phone cases, while others involve nothing more than a metallic 
accessory attached to the phone. Studies have shown that these 
products generally do not work as advertised. Unlike “hands-free” 
kits, these so-called “shields” may interfere with proper operation of 
the phone. The phone may be forced to boost its power to 
compensate, leading to an increase in RF absorption.
