We all know that most electronic devices which utilizes electricity, emits some form of radiation. Take the cell phone for example, it is a wide known fact that cell phones emit a noticeable amount of radiation to the unsuspecting user.
Generally, the city of San Francisco has recently approved a law which requires cell phone stores to post necessary information to inform consumers on the levels of radio energy emitted by a cell phone unit.
Apparently, such laws angered certain key players in the wireless industry, whereby they have taken the city of San Francisco to the U.S. District Court. The group argued that the radio energy levels emitted by a respective cell phone could be obtained through the FCC website, and posting such information in every the cell phone store isn’t necessary.
Mayor Gavin Newsom has reiterated that by providing such information to consumers, is a quite modest measure that allows better transparency and information that is vital for consumers to make the right choice when shopping for electronics, such as the cell phone.
Do you think that it is necessary for every cell phone store to display radiation levels emitted by cell phone units which are sold in their retail outlet?
