Anti-Radiation Trousers

from the watch-out dept

Worried that mobile phones give off harmful radiation? Thinking that carrying that phone in your hip pocket might not be the best thing for... certain body parts? Perhaps you should invest in a new pair of anti-radiation trousers that Levi Strauss is introducing under the Dockers brand name. They say the pockets are lined with "anti-radiation" material, though, it doesn't say just what that material is (is that lead in your pocket, or...?). Whether or not mobile phones give off radiation, and whether or not these pants actually block it, this still seems like a bit of cashing in on fear.
