I wouldn't be too concerned about that. As far as I understand it someone in the German "Ministerium fuer Strahlenschutz" (Ministry of Radiation Protection) did say that: "All evidence indicates that radiation below the legal thresholds is not dangerous. It is nevertheless possible that there still are physical mechanisms which may cause damage."
This potential threat was important enough to recommend not using Wi-Fi, mobile phones, intercom, baby monitors ... They didn't like to give the "all green" just in case new evidence turns up one day. No idea why they refrain from recommending not to watch TV as this may cause tremendous brain damage. :-)
