''Radiation free'' cell phone headsets on sale in Tampa

Tampa, Florida- An invention that's been around for years in Europe, Australia and the Middle East in flying off the shelves at International Plaza following a report on the dangers of cell phone radiation.

Smart & Safe opened up its first kiosk in Florida a day before last week's release of the World Health Organization's report detailing the potential risks from long term exposure to cell phone radiation. The company sells headsets that keep all electronics away from your head and instead transmits the sound from your phone through a pair of air tubes.

"The sound is amazing," said Smart & Safe's sales manager Natalie Ben Hamo.
