New York Bans Radium Dial Pocket Watches
New York City amends its administrative code to prohibit sale of radium dial pocket watches worn near the waist due to radiation risk. The Office of Radiation Control reports pocket watches emit about 75 units yearly, far above safe levels, while wrist watches remain deemed safe. Owners may replace faces and hands if disposal is not chosen.
