After a recap of the standard e.m. cascade theory, I will discuss a loophole
that can have a large effect in the early universe, notably in altering
primordial nucleosynthesis bounds on electromagnetically decaying relic particles.
I will finally show how this may greatly simplify the possibility to address
the long-standing "lithium problem" in terms of new physics models.
