Now that a Swedish study confirms a link between cell phone use and brain tumors, showing that 10 years of steady use can causes tumors, do you think it would be fair for cell phone users to sue companies like Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile for failing to warn them of the dangers. I belive in the movie "than you for smoking", the guy who use to represent big tobacco switches over to reprsenting cell phone industries.
So who do you think should be blamed?

Go for it. You can help them set a precedence that they are not responsible. The best evidence you have "A Swedish study suggests..." is not going to be very helpful against 100 years of FCC data.

"Now that..."?
That study is over 3 years old. There have been dozens of other studies all over the world that have found no link at all. There's already been lawsuits over this subject, and they've all failed.
Given the medical, scientific and legal history of the issue, any lawyer who filed such a suit now would be facing a VERY real risk of getting "chaptered" - ie sanctioned or fined by the court for a "frivolous pleading".

Well, considering that story is over 3 years old and new studies have found NO link between cell phone use and tumors, I guess you're out of luck.

With all good things a little death is involved , the Automobile for instance kills thousands every month and no one bats an eye anymore .
Same with cell phone users , and as they drop from the streets millions will still use them regardless because of the convenience .

Yeah, it's Verizon's fault that you use their service and cell phones. Blame it on the product, not the user!

seek for suggestion from from an criminal expert, an excellent one, yet no count number in case you may desire to now no longer sue those scientific docs and wellness middle, you may desire to continuously checklist financial disaster. which would be a shame cost people who helped your mom are the losers.

People need to sue themselves for the inability to unglue their damn phones from their heads!
It is unbelievable how many people think if they're not talking they're gonna die.
