San Francisco Passes Cellphone Radiation Law

San Francisco voted on Tuesday to require all retailers to display the amount of radiation each phone emits, reports The New York Times.

The law — believed to be the first of its kind in the nation — came despite a lack of conclusive scientific evidence showing that the devices are dangerous, and amid opposition from the wireless telephone industry, which views the labeling ordinance as a potential business-killing precedent.
