(AP) Consumers Union says the public should not buy microwave ovens because potential radiation leakage under "reasonable conditions of use" can far exceed federal safety standards. "The potential radiation of these ovens gives us sufficient reason to doubt the safety of these products, and the consumer should be cautious and stay away," a spokesman for the independent, nonprofit testing organization said Wednesday.

The head of the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers said that "no known injury" fiad been caused by any microwave oven and that all American-made microwave ovens were well within federal radiation limits. A Senate Commerce Committee hearing was scheduled today to review the effect of the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1967. The Consumers Union official, Warren Braren, said the organization was urging that current federal standards be tightened. Not enough is known yet, he said, about the effects on humans of low-level ation over an extended period of time. Braren said each of 15 units tested, representing the most popular microwave ovens, passed government test standards.

He added, however: "In our view the test procedure specified by the Bureau of Radiological Health is not one which takes into account reasonable conditions of use particularly over the life of the oven."
