Cell Phone Warning Labels are the Future?

Although scientists admit that there is little to no proof, two states are trying to be the first state to warn customers of radiation from cell phones and how it causes cancer and death. Why don’t we warn people of things we know are more likely? Make a law that all foods should state “Eating too much can cause you to get fat and die”. At least that has some truth to it. Outside of the USA there has already been some warnings on the cell phone boxes.

Maine Rep. Andrea Boland stated that numerous studies point to the cancer risk and she would like manufacturers to put labels on phones and packaging warning of the potential risks for brain cancer because of electromagnetic radiation. The warnings would recommend that everyone especially children and pregnant women to keep the devices away from their head and body. So is it fine for men to use cell phones? Or is she trying to wipe out all man kind? San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom is also trying to pass such a law and would require a display of absorption rate level next to the phone.

What will they think of next?
