News: Judge Tosses Out Cell Phone Lawsuit

For years there's been speculation that holding cell phones to your ear can cause cancer.
But a federal judge recently threw out an $800 million lawsuit against Motorola from a
neurologist who claimed his cell phone gave him a cancerous tumor behind his ear,
according to the Associated Press. The suit was tossed out because of insubstantial
evidence, the news agency reported. Analysts believe the judge's ruling could put at least
11 other similar lawsuits on hold. The AP story is available at the USA Today Web site:
