Interesting, Guess the power companies will be the next target since the jury still seems to be out on impacts of low frequency E-H fields. We already know the pollution generated by companies (which also fuel the economy) is bad. Can I sue? I can't get away from it unless I buy bottled air...a niche market of the future no doubt. Does the plaintiff just want a free headset? The article discusses the use of headsets with the implication of their use as a method of reduction of exposure. Weren't there studies conducted indicating that some headsets on some phones increased the radiation levels? Besides, even if supplied, how do you prove the headset was/was not used? There's always testimonials I suppose. Hot dogs. What do they feed the critters that end up on every child's plate in the form of a weenie? Are the critter feeds sprayed with pesticides and herbicides? Do the critter-feed pesticides/herbicides bear the warning of "might be harmful if consumed"? I wonder how far David will get against goliath? The legal folks are sure to benefit and we'll all see yet another definition of dangerous. My opinion only and not that of my employer. Kaz Gawrzyjal

IF cell phones are proven hazardous, most people would not be aware or understand the risk. Im not saying that these aligations are valid, but it does make sense to keep informed.
