VeriChip Defends the Safety of Implanted RFID Tags

There is no evidence, the company maintains, to support the notion that implanting RFID chips in animals or humans causes tumors.

By Claire Swedberg

Sept. 12, 2007—News reports linking implanted RFID transponders to tumors in lab mice are erroneous and misleading, according to Applied Digital Solutions, a manufacturer of implantable RFID tags, and two of its subsidiaries, Digital Angel and VeriChip. The companies claim there is no evidence to support the notion that the injection of RFID chips under the skin causes tumors of any sort.

They bolster this assertion by noting that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved VeriChip’s VeriMed RFID tag for use in humans, that millions of animals have had tags implanted under their skin without developing any tumors and that the mere act of having a hypodermic injection can cause tumors in lab mice.
