Hello Kitty mobile phone and health issue

While there’s nothing happened in UK or Ireland relating to this release, American seems to be a little bit worry about this stuff. Well, there is such a conflict between this gadget and report by researchers out there.

She is a nice and cute character. Dangerous?

Sir William Stewart, chairman of the Health Protection Agency and the National Radiological Protection Board said that children under 8 should not use mobile phones at all. While the elder kids should make only short, essential calls, use text messaging as far as possible and should have low-emission models. This result of course, could harming the sales of Hello Kitty mobile phones there which will be launched in July.

Sanrio’s spokesperson at the same time defend his side by saying that their company has been attempting to broaden their appeal out of the 10 to 12-year-old sector. Furthermore, with $599 (£310) in price tag and all the functionality it has, this mobile phone surely will match for adult people.

Anyway, Hello Kitty itself was born in 1974 in Japan. Just for information here, even the famous male blogger, Perez Hilton also wore a Hello Kitty handbag once upon a times. Next time we shouldn’t be bothered by him when he hand on the Hello Kitty mobile phone.
