90M iPhone users consider class action lawsuit due to biological damage from exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) emanating from cell phones and other wireless sources, including 5G.
Furthermore, it is mandatory for manufacturers to furnish consumers with cautionary statements regarding the potential radiation exposure that may result from the use of cell phones and other wireless devices.
Certain governments also offer advice to their citizens regarding the safe utilization of cell phones. The controversy surrounding the radiation levels emitted by iPhone 12 models in France continues to escalate.
30 Groups Urge EU Regulators to Ban iPhone 12’s Failed Safety Test
On Tuesday, not only were 90M iPhone users consider class action lawsuit, thirty organizations joined the France-based Phonegate Alert demanding that French and European authorities withdraw the iPhone 12 from all European markets permanently.
I hope I did not scare any of you iPhone 15 users yet. 🤣🤣🤣
The demand increased after France lifted a temporary sales prohibition on the phone. Apple initially implemented the prohibition subsequent to the iPhone 12’s radiation safety test failure.
Furthermore, the groups issued legal threats against Apple, threatening legal repercussions should the company fail to provide compensation to existing iPhone 12 owners for unlawful exposure to excessive levels of radiofrequency (RF) radiation.
In an Oct. 3 press release, Phonegate and its signatories, which include the California Brain Tumor Association and the European Cancer and Environmental Research Institute, claimed that Apple “knowingly deceived” iPhone 12 (model A2403) owners for more than three years regarding the “true levels” of RF radiation exposure and the “possible health risks incurred” when the device is in close contact with the body.
Smartphonegate and its signatories claim that approximately 90 million European iPhone 12 users are contemplating filing a class action lawsuit against Apple.
The software has been implemented to update the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 43 cellphone models that posed health risks to users or that were withdrawn from the French market in order to reduce the quantity of RF radiation emitted by the device. The iPhone 12 is one such model.
The SAR is an indicator of the rate at which an electronic device absorbs radiofrequency energy by the body.
90M iPhone Users Consider Class Action Lawsuit
France imposed a temporary prohibition on the sale of the iPhone 12 on September 12 due to the device surpassing the regulatory SAR limit.
The Agence Nationale des Fréquences (ANFR), the French regulatory authority for radio frequency (RF) radiation, examined two radiation tests: one examined the effects of holding or placing a phone in a pants pocket, which involves close physical contact with the phone, and the other simulated the use of a jacket pocket or bag as a slightly greater distance from the phone.
The iPhone 12 demonstrated proficiency in the second assessment. The ANFR stated that it surpassed European Union (EU) regulatory standards for the initial test, which measures the phone 5 millimeters (mm) away from the epidermis.
Moreover, cell phones, wifi, computers, and other wireless tech are inherently dangerous due to the amount of radiation. When speaking on a cell phone it is wise to keep the device a few inches from the ear.
Cell Phones Tests Are Misleading
Arazi expressed his conviction that global regulatory testing protocols are misleading and necessitate modification in order to protect users adequately from hazardous levels of RF radiation.
“The European testing standard was approximately 15 to 25 mm prior to our 2016 action—pretty much the same as in the United States,” he told The Defender. Presently, premarket cellphone testing in Europe encompasses a distance of 5 mm from the epidermis.
However, the majority of countries, including the United States, continue to conduct phone testing at even greater distances from the body. Well, I be damned!
Arazi noted that in 2019, French authorities urged the European Commission to strengthen cellphone safety regulations by mandating SAR tests be conducted at a distance of 0 mm from the body in order to more precisely measure people’s actual exposure, given that many individuals hold their devices against their skin. However, European standards remain at a distance of 5 mm from the skin.
When estimating RF radiation exposure levels, each millimeter counts heavily, according to Devra Davis, Ph.D., president of the scientific research and education nonprofit Environmental Health Trust.
Davis, a founding director of the Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology of the U.S. National Research Council at the National Academy of Sciences and a toxicologist and epidemiologist, has written for over a decade about the corruption surrounding cellular safety regulation.
“Very deceptive,” she remarked to The Defender. Testing a phone at a distance of one millimeter from the body yields a 15% reduction in exposure. By using a 10-mm ear spacer, 150% less light enters the ear canal.
Radiation is not our friend as we can see.
