Bernstein Liebhard LLP Investigates Cases Linking Cellphone Radiation to Cancer

Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a New York law firm nationally recognized for its consumer protection and mass tort practices, is currently investigating cases of cellphone radiation exposure and its link to brain cancer as well as non-cancerous tumors.  Given that over five billion people around the world use cellphones, the lawyers at Bernstein Liebhard LLP are reviewing potential lawsuits linking cellphone use to carcinogens.  The firm is evaluating whether cellphone providers’ failed to warn and protect users from dangerous and hazardous radio frequency emissions putting consumers at an increased risk for developing brain cancer and other non-cancerous tumors.

On May 31, 2011, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) reclassified the radiation emitted from cellphones, categorizing them as possibly carcinogenic to humans – just below items that definitely cause cancer and probably cause cancer.  The recategorization was based on a study conducted by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (“IARC”), which concluded that cellphone users are at a greater risk for both glioma, a malignant form of brain cancer, and acoustic neuroma, a tumor of the nerve that runs from the ear to the brain.  The safety alert and reclassification was a major departure from WHO’s earlier position on cellphone use and cancer.  Previously, WHO’s stance was that there were no adverse effects associated with mobile devices.         

If you have experienced any problems as a result of cellphone radiation exposure, you may be eligible to file a cellphone radiation lawsuit seeking compensation for your injuries and reimbursement of your expenses. The experienced lawyers at Bernstein Liebhard LLP are currently offering free and confidential consultations to anyone interested in pursuing a cellphone radiation exposure claim.  For more information about filing a cellphone radiation lawsuit, contact an attorney at Bernstein Liebhard LLP at (877) 779-1414 or at info@consumerinjurylawyers.com or visit www.consumerinjurylawyers.com, a consumer advocacy website offered by Bernstein Liebhard LLP that provides free information about dangerous drugs, medical devices and other consumer products.
