objects, including either installed or portable
wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or
in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag
inflates, serious injury could result.
FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s
Center for Devices and Radiological Health
Consumer Update on Mobile Phones:
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show
that any health problems are associated with using
wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that
wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless
phones emit low levels of Radio Frequency (RF)
energy in the microwave range while being used.
They also emit very low levels of RF when in idle
mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low
level RF that does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health effects. Many
studies of low level RF exposures have not found
any biological effects. Some studies have suggested
that some biological effects may occur, but such
findings have not been confirmed by additional
research. In some cases, other researchers have
had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in
determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
2. What is the FDA’s role concerning the safety
of wireless phones?
Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety
