Motorola
May Take Legal Action Over Health Claims

Motorola's managing director,
Ron Nissan, has sent a letter to the protection device maker Microshield asking
it to retract certain statements made in its sales brochure. Microshield
introduced a cellular phone carrying case in Australia last week that the
company says can protect users from as much as 90 percent of the
"harmful" emissions coming from cellular phones. The brochure claims
that an increasing number of studies are finding that microwave radiation at
cellular phone levels can lead to brain damage and possibly asthma, plus
aggravate existing cancer. The brochure also claims that other research has
discovered that "extremely" low levels of microwave radiation can
produce DNA damage. Peter Russell, the executive director of the Australian
Mobile Telecommunications Association, says that he has already asked the
Australian Competition and Consumer Council to prevent Microshield from
distributing the brochure. Russell says Microshield's "sales pitch is
preying on community fears that are not based on sound science."
