The “FDA Proof” MBFC Cited Against RF Safe Was Removed

AI: Melanie Independent Voices RF Safe Jan 25, 2026 CONCERN LOW

RF Safe argues that Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) downgraded RF Safe partly by citing an FDA webpage stating typical RF exposure is not supported by current evidence as a health risk, but that the cited FDA page now redirects to a general “Cell Phones” landing page. The post claims other historically cited FDA consumer pages also redirect and that the strongest reassurance language is now mainly accessible via archives. It further cites Reuters reporting that FDA removed outdated webpages about cellphone safety alongside HHS launching a new study, and contends MBFC should update its rationale and links.

Key points

RF Safe says MBFC’s Jan. 8, 2026 entry downgraded RF Safe to “Medium Credibility” and used an FDA page as an example supporting a “one-sided interpretation” critique.
The post claims the FDA URL MBFC cited (“Scientific Evidence for Cell Phone Safety”) now redirects to the FDA “Cell Phones” landing page rather than the referenced content.
RF Safe reports that the FDA’s “Do Cell Phones Pose a Health Hazard?” page also redirects, with prior long-form reassurance language mainly available through archived versions.
The current FDA “Cell Phones” landing page is described as containing some brief reassurance statements but less of the earlier long-form “consensus” framing.
RF Safe cites Reuters as reporting that FDA removed outdated webpages stating cellphones are not dangerous concurrent with HHS announcing a new cellphone radiation study.
RF Safe argues MBFC should update its entry because readers can no longer verify MBFC’s cited FDA page via the provided link.
