as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices.
However, the agency has authority to take action if wireless phones are shown to emit Radio

replace, or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data does not justify FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged
the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
1. Support current and future research regarding possible biological effects of the type of
RF emitted by wireless phones;

necessary for device function; and
