iPhone 12 radiation fears: FDA is 'reviewing' Apple handsets after reports they are radioactive - as France halts sales
A spokesperson for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) — which is partly responsible for making sure cellphones are safe — told DailyMail.com the agency was 'reviewing the available information'.
It comes after a regulator in France this week asked Apple to stop selling the 2020 iPhone 12, claiming tests found the handset emits radiation levels that exceed EU restrictions.
Germany, Belgium and Spain have all signaled they could follow suit. Apple has disputed the findings, but the news has reignited deep-rooted fears about health and cellphone usage.
More than 81 million iPhones were sold in the United States in 2021, the year after the model's release. It is unclear how many Americans still own a device that is now three years old.
