These machines used X-rays and exposed the feet of customers to 5 to 30 seconds of radiation. Further, lower doses of radiation exposure also occurred within about 10 to 15 inches of the outside of the machine.

A) customers who had their feet exposed to the X-ray device
B) the salespeople who operated the machine to sell shoes
