<p>CHICAGO&#8211;(<a href="https://www.businesswire.com/" rel="nofollow">BUSINESS WIRE</a>)&#8211;Today the class-action law firm Fegan Scott announced it has launched an investigation regarding recently released research that questions the safety of some of the most popular and widely used cell phones.</p>
<p>The research, conducted by The Chicago Tribune and an independent laboratory hired by the newspaper, shows that cell phones including the iPhone 7, X, 8 and 8+ among others, emit as much as twice the amount of radiation as the phones’ manufacturers claim.</p>
<p>“If we found that produce sold in grocery stores contained twice the levels of pesticides as the law allows, we would be up in arms, demanding the products be pulled from the shelf – this is no different,” said Beth Fegan, managing partner of Fegan Scott. “In this case, we know the cell phone radiation is dangerous, but the terrifying part is that we don’t know how dangerous, especially to kids’ brain development.”</p>
<p>Fegan also noted that research strongly suggests that cell phone manufacturers knew – or should have known – that the radiation levels were well above what they were claiming. “The fact that the Chicago Tribune can convene a group of experts and develop such convincing findings shows that the phone manufacturers may be intentionally hiding what they know about radiation output.</p>
<p>This could be the Chernobyl of the cell phone industry, cover-up and all,” Fegan noted.</p>
<p>Owners or users of Apple iPhone 7, X, 8 and 8+, Samsung Galaxy S9, S8 and J3, and Motorola Moto e5 and G6 could be affected.</p>
<p>To learn more about the investigation or to receive updates, please email <a href="mailto:phoneradiation@feganscott.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener" shape="rect">phoneradiation@feganscott.com</a>.</p>
<p>Fegan Scott is a class-action law firm that serves consumers in issues regarding product liability and related issues, including cases against Apple and other cell phone-related businesses. Under managing partner Beth Fegan, consumers and others have received more than $1 billion through her work as a consumer advocate.</p>

<p><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-1qd0xha r-ad9z0x r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">The Chigaco Tribune </span>tested three more brand-new iPhone 7s at full power, and these phones also measured over the exposure limit.</p>
<p><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-1qd0xha r-ad9z0x r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">After reviewing the lab reports from the Chicago Tribune&#8217;s tests,the FCC said it would take the rare step of conducting its own testing over the next couple of months. “<em>We take seriously any claims on non-compliance with the RF (radiofrequency) exposure standards and will be obtaining and testing the subject phones for compliance with FCC rules</em>,” agency spokesman Neil Grace said.</span></p>
<p>Sam Roe is a Chicago Tribune journalist who was part of a team of reporters that won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting for an examination of hazardous toys and other children&#8217;s products. Roe also has been a Pulitzer Prize finalist four times.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The take-away message from the Science and Wireless 2016:</p>
<p>RF-EMF exposures affect beta-amyloid proteins in brains of transgenic mice.<br />
Effect on beta-amyloid protein is caused by non-thermal mechanism.<br />
It is still unclear whether observed beneficial effects of RF-EMF in transgenic mice will apply to human AD<br />
                                                                                                  ICNIRP stubbornly disregards all evidence concerning non-thermal effects of RF-EMF (ICNIRP’s acceptance of the existence of non-thermal effects would invalidate current safety limits)</p>
<p>ICNIRP, arbitrarily, without plausible scientific evidence, places skin among the less important parts of body that can be more exposed to RF-EMF.                                                          Skin should not be allowed to be placed by ICNIRP in the ‘limbs’ group of organs because this will allow the 5G technology to market devices with higher radiation exposure, irrespective of the proximity of these devices to human body – all energy of 5G device will be absorbed solely by the skin.</p>
<p>Implementation of 5G technology goes fast ahead in spite of the complete lack of science on the 5G effects on skin biology.</p>
<p>The Precautionary Principle is completely disregarded by the ICNIRP and industry.</p>
