San Francisco could require radiation level label on phones

San Francisco, often at the forefront of revolutionary ideas, might also stand the chance to be the first city in the US to require cellphone retailers to label their wares with the level of radiation emitted assumning the controversial proposal being discussed at the Department of the Environment and endorsed by Mayor Gavin Newsom goes through. While the debate has raged on for years and years, there is still nary a single scientific consensus that points toward cellphones being health hazards, with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) maintaining their stand that any handset sold legally Stateside is safe for consumer use. Well, we guess even if this law passes through, phone sales won’t drop an iota since the cellphone has become an everyday convenience that very few are willing to give up.
