Judge dismisses suit over cellular phones
PAMPA Florida federal court dismisses David Reynard's suit claiming a portable cellular telephone caused his wife Susan Reynard's brain cancer. The judge found no sufficient link between the phone and the cancer in this first case of its kind. Reynard had sued NBC and GTE, drew national attention, and saw cellular stocks fall after his 1993 disclosure. He said he was flabbergasted by the ruling and would decide on further action later.
