Judge declares San Francisco cell phone warning law misleading
In an update to an earlier story about the ordinance, this didn’t take long to occur.
San Francisco cell phone warning law fails science, judge says – CNN.com.
San Francisco’s ordinance requiring retail outlets to inform consumers about the (alleged) effects of cell phone radiation has been blocked by a federal judge.
Upon passage, San Francisco’s ordinance was challenged by industry trade group CTIA-The Wireless Association, which claimed the ordinance’s requirement that retailers post messages about cell phone safety violated the First Amendment.
