It's Official: S.F. Requires Stores to Post Cellphone Radiation Levels
San Francisco will require retailers to post information about the radiation produced by different cellphone models. (Here’s the NYT story, and here’s Engadget’s take.)
We wrote about this issue two weeks ago, when the Board of Supervisors was last scheduled to vote on the new requirements. That vote was delayed after one member of the board asked for more time to suss out any liability issues such a rule might create.
The requirement was proposed by S.F. Mayor Gavin Newsom, an avid iPhone user, and yesterday his spokesman told the NYT (NYT) the information on the specific absorption rate (SAR) was a good thing for consumers.
