Defense Wants to Prevent Expert Testimony in Cell Phone Radiation Lawsuit Because They Fear It Would “unfairly prejudice Defendants”

Cell phone injury lawsuits have existed for many years in the U.S. and worldwide (see 1, 2, 3, 4).

In the U.S. defense attorneys are currently trying to stop scientific testimony from being allowed in one case.

Defense Seeks To Bar Portier Testimony

As expected, defense lawyers have asked the DC court to not allow Christopher Portier to be an expert witness in this case.

In a filing yesterday, the team representing the cell phone industry, argued that, “[A]llowing a new expert four months before the long-planned Daubert hearing would disrupt the existing schedule and unfairly prejudice Defendants.”

The filing was signed by Terry Dee of McDermott Will & Emery in Chicago on behalf of himself and 37 other lawyers at 23 law firms.

Portier was retained by the plaintiff attorneys in March 15, 2015 with the payment of a $5,000 retainer. It is not clear why his report was filed last month, close to six years later.

Public and Media Excluded from Global RadioFrequency Radiation (RF) Health Briefing

Last year, the World Health Organization warned that exposure to high levels of Electromagnetic Fields (aka “Electrosmog”) could cause health issues in a significant percentage of the population. Electrosmog sources include anything that emits RadioFrequency (RF) radiation, also referred to as wireless. Sources include activity trackers, Apple AirPods, cell phones, cell towers, home assistants (Alexa, Google Nest, etc.), utility “Smart” Meters and other “Smart” technology, WiFi routers, and more.

Unfortunately, many health care professionals don’t consider exposure when diagnosing and treating patients even though scientists worldwide seem to know that it’s a problem … and not just for American embassy workers and others targeted by microwave weapons (see 1, 2). Otherwise, there probably wouldn’t have been a recent health briefing about it.
