Dear Supporters,

Our petition to the FDA to regulate LED products, including LED vehicle headlights, was submitted on June 15, 2022, exactly 6 months ago.  Unsurprisingly, while the FDA has admitted they have received our petition and are supposedly investigating, the FDA has not made a decision as to whether LED visible radiation should be regulated or not, despite overwhelming evidence of the hazards and dangers of LED visible radiation and the adverse impacts of this radiation on public health and safety.  

In an attempt to hold the FDA accountable, today I submitted the following FOIA to the FDA:

The Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act passed on October 18, 1968, and yet the FDA still has not published regulations for Light Emitting Diodes.  This request is for all records showing discussions within the FDA about regulation of LEDs, including meeting notes, emails, and petitions that provide insight as to why the FDA has not regulated LEDs.  Our petition to the FDA to regulate LED products was submitted on June 15, 2022 and yet still there has been no decision by the FDA.  This FOIA requests all meeting notes, emails, and phone calls showing who FDA staff has contacted about our petition, including any discussions with the FDA Commissioner, any discussions with other federal agencies, and any discussions with lighting or automotive companies.

Sincerely,
Mark Baker
