DescriptionSAN FRANCISCO — Mayor Gavin Newsom is endorsing a proposal that would make San Francisco the first city in the country to require radiation labels for cell phones.

The legislation would require cell phone retailers to post radiation levels next to each phone in a font at least as large as the price.

The retailers also would have to inform customers about what the radiation levels mean.

Scientists do not agree on whether radiation from cell phones poses any health hazard.
