On December 7, it was reported by foreign media that the Chicago Tribune published a survey result in August last year, and the data showed that the radiation level of four Apple iPhones 7 exceeded the legal limit. In addition, the survey shows that this number is more than twice the test results of Apple.

The test results of Samsung Galaxy S8 are also worrying. The FCC (Federal Communications Commission of the United States) stipulates that the upper limit of radiation is 1.6W/kg, while the Galaxy S8 generates 8.22W/kg of radiation at a distance of 2mm. In other words, when Galaxy S8 users put their mobile phones in their pants pockets or pockets, they may be exposed to more radiation than required by the FCC.

It is reported that they tested 11 mobile phones, and most of them exceeded the legal limit at a distance of 2mm. However, because of a loophole, the manufacturers got away with it. In the 1990s, the American law stipulated that the test distance between the mobile phone and the skin was 25 mm, because most people wore mobile phones (cell phones) on their belts at that time, and the distance was almost 25 mm.

A few days ago, the US consumer rights law firm Fegan Scott released a press release saying that two separate class actions against Apple and Samsung are being consolidated and filed in the San Francisco branch of the Northern District Court of California on Thursday. The lawsuit requires the court to order the defendant to pay medical guardianship fees and an unknown amount of compensation.

The lawsuit was filed by the lawyer's office after it hired a laboratory certified by FCC. The laboratory confirmed that when users used Apple and Samsung mobile phones according to the manufacturer's recommendations, the radiation of mobile phones exceeded the prescribed upper limit.

Lawyer Beth Fegan, partner of FeganScott, said: "Apple and Samsung smart phones have changed our lives. Adults, teenagers and children will check their email or play games when they wake up, and work on smart phones or finish school work. They put these devices in their pockets all day long, and even sleep with them in bed. The manufacturer told the consumer that it was safe, so it was important to test the radiation. The test results of third-party institutions confirmed that when users use mobile phones in the way encouraged by Apple and Samsung, the radiation level far exceeds the federal regulations of the United States, sometimes more than 500%. Consumers should know the truth. "

The press release pointed out that at a distance of 2mm, the radiation emitted by the iPhone 8 and Galaxy S8 is twice the legal limit. At 0mm, the radiation emitted by iPhone 8 is five times the legal limit, while the radiation emitted by Galaxy S8 at this distance is three times the legal limit. Other phones tested by FCC certified laboratories include iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone XR, Galaxy S8, Galaxy S9, and Galaxy S10.

Lawyer Beth Fegan said: "Our goal is to prove that Apple and Samsung realized that these products had a surprisingly high radiation when their products were launched."
