    It took them three years after release to determine this? Were there no FCC-equivalent filings well before then?

      It produces zero radiation like a nuclear reactor and only a little more energy than WiFi. This energy’s only effect is to heat adjacent tissue but much less than the actual heat produced.

        They just like using the weasel word “radiation” to make boomers & older gen Xers scared.

      They tested on release (it passed), they then re-tested recently (it failed)

        I’m far more likely to believe they screwed up the retest than I am that France suddenly found something everyone else missed. Also 4 watts is nothing. I’d maybe start to get a little worried if it was putting out 40 watts, although even that much is still pretty minimal.
