Lawsuit filed against Apple, Samsung after Chicago Tribune tests cellphones for radiofrequency radiation
A group of lawyers has filed a federal class-action lawsuit against Apple and Samsung, citing a Tribune investigation that tested popular cellphones for radiofrequency radiation and found some results over the federal exposure limit.
The lawsuit — filed Friday in California, Illinois and Iowa — alleges that the phone makers “intentionally misrepresented » the safety of their devices, assuring users that the phones had been adequately tested and “were safe to use on and in close proximity to their bodies.”
