Press Release November 8, 2021
In 2010, the Grenelle II law had established a broader obligation for the protection of the health of consumers and not just specific to the hands-free kit:
“Radioelectric terminals intended to be connected to a network open to the public for the provision of telephony service may not be marketed without an accessory to limit the exposure of the head to radioelectric emissions during communications.”
In reformulating this text, the parliamentarians have gone much further. They have put an end to every form of protection provided in an obligatory way by the manufacturer when marketing cell phones in order to protect exposure of the head.

And the senator added regarding the health aspects that justified this obligation:
“In any case, nothing indicates that the free provision of headsets protects these intensive users more widely from identified health risks.”
We have no doubt that this elected official of the Republic is exploiting the environmental cause to the detriment of health.
