It was NOT our shields they were talking about! Plus we are the people responsible for getting companies that have been misleading people shut down!!

WE ONLY SELL WHAT WORKS TO PROTECT YOU! WE WERE THE FIRST COMPANY IN THE WORLD TO TESTS EVERY PRODUCT EVER MADE FOR CELL PHONE PROTECTION!

Have questions ...please ask!

Below is posted on our home page at rfsafe.com

What we've done!

It all started with years of research that gave us an awareness and understanding of the potential hazards surrounding EMF exposure. RF Safe has conducted test on every method in the world to reduce rf exposure. By 1998 it became quite clear that most products sold to protect consumers from radio frequency exposure were scams. We've spent years of man hours trying to get rid of these companies that were selling a false since of protection.  Then in late 2000, Good Housekeeping Institute's Director of Engineering, Mark Kalinowski interviewed RF Safe's founder John Coates about cell phone safety devices. RF Safe's founder spent several hours explaining the independent testing RFS had done on devices to reduce cell phone radiation exposure, and in doing so he made it crystal clear that certain companies were putting consumers in more danger by them thinking they had some protection and did not. The Good Housekeeping Institute than conducted test confirming RF Safe's findings. Because of this media exposure the FTC sued two of these companies which has brought an end to their fraudulent marketing scams in May 2003!

I have called the FCC, both Barbara Anthony and Ronald Waldman to invite them to sue me! I had to leave them voice mail so I hope they call back! My products work and I would love to take them on!

The Original FTC Press release is below!

For Release: August 6, 2003
Radiation Protection Patch Marketers “Cell” Consumers Short

Two companies who marketed and sold bogus cell phone radiation protection patches have settled Federal Trade Commission charges that they violated federal laws by making false and misleading claims about their products. Using television and Internet advertising, Safety Cell, Inc. and Rhino International, Inc. deceptively indicated that their patches, designed to fit over the earpiece of any cell phone, could block a substantial amount of radiation and other electromagnetic energy emitted by cellular telephones, thereby reducing consumers’ exposure to this radiation. Under separate settlements, both sets of defendants are required to have adequate scientific evidence to substantiate claims about the performance, efficacy, or benefit of any good or service. The settlement in Rhino requires them to pay $342,665 in redress to consumers who purchased Rhino’s “WaveScrambler” patch.

Rhino International, Inc.
According to the FTC, the Sag Harbor, New York-based company and its principals, Nigel Harrison and Sherry Molina, marketed and sold the “WaveScrambler” patch, claiming that their product could block 99 percent of electromagnetic waves emitted by cellular phones and cordless phones.

Safety Cell, Inc.
According to the FTC, Safety Cell, based in Brooklyn, New York, and its principal, Jerry Berger, marketed the “WaveGuard” cell phone shield. The FTC alleged that the defendants claimed that their WaveGuard patch blocked most of the electromagnetic energy emitted from cell phones.

Under separate stipulated orders, which the court approved, the defendants are prohibited from the future marketing or selling of any product that claims to protect consumers from harmful radiation and electromagnetic energy, unless the claims can be substantiated by competent and reliable scientific evidence. The orders also prohibit the defendants from making unsubstantiated representations about the performance, efficacy, or benefits of any good or service. The settlements require both sets of defendants to indicate clearly in connection with claims that any device protects consumers from cell phone radiation that most electromagnetic energy emitted by cell phones comes from parts of the phone other than the earpiece, and that the WaveScrambler and WaveGuard have no significant effect on this other electromagnetic radiation. Additionally, the settlements prohibit the defendants from misrepresenting the results of any test, study, or research. Finally, the settlements contain various recordkeeping provisions to assist the FTC in monitoring the defendants’ compliance.

The Commission vote to approve the filing of the two complaints and stipulated final orders for permanent injunctions were 5-0. The documents were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York on August 6, 2003.

NOTE: These stipulated final orders for permanent injunctions are for settlement purposes only and do not constitute an admission by the defendants of a law violation. A stipulated final order for permanent injunction has the force of law when signed by the judge.

Copies of the two complaints and the stipulated final orders for permanent injunctions are available from the FTC’s Web site at http://www.ftc.gov and also from the FTC’s Consumer Response Center, Room 130, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580. The FTC works for the consumer to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint, or to get 6.00 information on any of 150 consumer topics, call toll-6.00, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1 877-382-4357), or use the complaint form at http://www.ftc.gov. The FTC enters Internet, telemarketing, identity theft, and other fraud-related complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.

IT MAKES ME SO MAD!! I'm glad the FCC got rid of them but making rfsafe.com look bad is wrong! I have been telling everyone for years their products did not work! I will fight this to the end! People need protection! It was my child that died from what I attribute to EMF exposure and I will die myself making sure people know how to stop harmful wireless radiation!

I am so sorry to hear about your child. My 22 year old suffered from headaches for over 2 years. He had a cat scan and all kinds of tests and they found nothing wrong. All of a sudden I noticed he wasn't complaining anymore. He turned in his phone and got a Nextel. He doesn't put the phone to his ear anymore and uses the direct connect walkie talkie feature. I wonder if it was the phone?
Do you have a shield for every phone? I am interested again. thank you

I am leaving for NY to confront the FTC in person with picket signs in hand! I will get the truth to people! Its about a 24hr drive, but it has to be done!

See this link for our shields http://www.rfsafe.com/research/cell_phone_location.htm

Feel 6.00 to call me too 727-799-1522

John

Those of you that have read the above email from today, let me tell you where the problems start!!!

Barbara Anthony who is a unqualified person with regards to EMF safety made comments to reporters that give the impression all RF protection does not work!

The example of dragging the silver-lined boxer shorts and cooking aprons into the wavescrambler news report on the FTC press release is giving a bad name for good protection. Especially for mothers who are pregnant that are looking for ways to reduce rf exposure on their babies!

Starting quote from misleading news report in blue

"Specifically, all of these devices do not work," said Barbara Anthony, northeast regional director of the FTC, which filed the charges after a months-long investigation.

The FTC estimated that hundreds of thousands of the products are sold to unwitting consumers each year, many of them made and imported from overseas, particularly China. Preying on consumers' fears about the uncertain effects of cell-phone radiation, the devices range from $20 patches to silver-lined boxer shorts and cooking aprons costing upwards of $50

Go here for this misleading news report!.
http://www.newsday.com/news/health/ny-bzftc073404866aug07,0,5243894.story?coll=ny-health-headlines

another example in the same news report

"FTC attorney Ron Waldman said the devices are particularly deceiving because consumers buy them expecting a level of safety they can never be sure they receive. "There's no way for a consumer to tell whether the product is working," he said."

I've always heard attorney's lie! Maybe its true, because "That is a BIG FAT lie!

It is easy to see the control you take over cell phone radiation!  (See Our Video Tests) to confirm RF Safe's shielding technologies provide unsurpassed levels of handset safety for cell phones and other wireless devices. 

It is a fact the silver-lined boxer shorts and cooking aprons mentioned in the above news report based on their misleading interview with the FTC, will shield as well as the fabric used in our pocket shield test video http://www.rfsafe.com/video/shielding_demo.WMV

Again in the same news report at the very end it suggest the following

"While a direct correlation between cell-phone use and health concerns, including brain tumors or retardation, has not been established, experts advise users concerned about possible dangers to avoid long conversations, use conventional phones when possible, limit children's extended use of cell phones, and try an ear-piece and microphone."

Search the rfsafe.com site to see that WAY MORE THAN brain tumors and retardation has been linked to rf exposure.

Then to make matters even worse they suggest using a headset without shielding in place to limit rf radiation exposure to your body!

THINK ABOUT IT PEOPLE! Is it really less dangerous because you move the phone closer to your vital organs that DON'T have a skull to protect them?  And what about your baby if you are pregnant or plan to be? Do you want microwaves going into your baby? I PRAY TO GOD YOU DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
