30 Groups Call on EU Regulators to Ban Sales of iPhone 12 That Failed Safety Test

30 Groups Call on EU Regulators to Ban Sales of iPhone 12 That Failed Safety Test

Some of the organizations are considering legal action against Apple if the company does not compensate current iPhone 12 owners for subjecting them to illegally high levels of radiofrequency radiation.

Thirty organizations on Tuesday joined the France-based Phonegate Alert to demand that French and European authorities permanently withdraw Apple’s iPhone 12 from all European markets.

The demand came after France lifted a temporary sales ban on the phone. The ban was first imposed when Apple’s iPhone 12 failed radiation safety test.

Some of the organizations also consider legal action against Apple if the company does not compensate current iPhone 12 owners for subjecting them to illegally high levels of radiofrequency (RF) radiation.


Phonegate and its fellow signatories, including the European Cancer and Environmental Research Institute and the California Brain Tumor Association, in an Oct. 3 press release alleged that Apple for over three years has “knowingly deceived” owners of the iPhone 12 (model A2403) regarding the “true levels” of RF radiation exposure and the “possible health risks incurred” when the device is in close contact with the body.

The roughly 90 million European users of the iPhone 12 are considering a class action lawsuit against Apple, according to Phonegate and its fellow signatories.

Dr. Marc Arazi, Phonegate’s founder and president, said in the press release:

“In the event that Apple is content with this masquerade of a repair, together with all of our voluntary partners, as well as all iPhone 12 owners who so wish, we will study, as is already the case in the United States … and Canada … the possibility of bringing a class action before the competent authorities. This will also be an opportunity to take action against the manufacturers of the 42 other mobile phone models … that have been implicated since 2018, including Samsung, Nokia, Xiaomi, Huawei, Motorola, Sony, Orange, etc.”

Correction: This article was updated to state that some, not all, of the organizations calling on the EU to ban Apple’s iPhone 12 are considering legal action if the company does not compensate iPhone 12 owners for subjecting them to illegally high levels of RF radiation.
