Doesn’t the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) say bisphenol A is safe?
The FDA’s assessment was based mainly on a review of very small number of flawed chemical industry-funded studies, not the dozens of independent studies that have found bisphenol A causes harm. In fact, a panel of scientists assembled by the FDA to review its assessment found that the agency ignored many independent studies that link the chemical to health problems. This panel recommended the agency abandon its earlier findings that BPA is safe. FDA has indicated that it will reassess its findings.
