Sales of an Alcatel phone stopped in Canada after it failed radiation emission test

Canadian regulator temporary pulled one of Alcatel's budget models, the U50, from the market, after it failed to meet the criteria for wireless radio frequency energy exposure. Every country has standards that determine which devices are safe for consumers to use, but the specific limits they set can differ.

In Canada, the test that the U50 failed to pass is said to have a 50-fold safety margin. That means that the amount of exposure the phone has to comply with is 50 times under the exposure that can have negative effects on your body.

No devices are being recalled from users ...
