SCOTUS Denies CTIA Cert Petition in Berkeley RF Disclosure Challenge

The Supreme Court won't hear a CTIA challenge of an RF disclosure law by Berkeley, California, denying petition for writ of certiorari Monday, it said in docket 19-439. CTIA said it's disappointed. "We encourage consumers to listen to the FDA, the American Cancer Society, and the international scientific community when it comes to radiofrequency (RF) exposure," it said. It noted last week's FCC order saying there's no evidence of a causal link between wireless device use and cancer (see 1912040036). Berkeley didn't comment. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in July upheld for a second time Berkeley’s law that requires the wireless industry to provide a warning about possible dangers of overexposure to wireless frequencies (see 1907020059).
