BPA April 2, 2009
From the AAPA:
Lawmakers introduce bills to ban, regulate BPA.
The Wall Street Journal (4/1, Trottman) Washington Wire blog reports that “Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Rep. Edward Markey (D-MA) introduced similar bills last month to ban [bisphenol A (BPA)], which has been linked to breast and prostate cancers and reproductive problems in animals, from all food and beverage containers, and Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) introduced a bill Tuesday that would ban it from food and beverage containers for infants and toddlers.” Sen. Schumer’s bill, “called the BPA-free Kids Act, would enact a nationwide ban and stiff penalties for manufacturers, importers and stores that violate it.” Washington Wire notes that federal studies concerning BPA are “contradictory,” with a report by the National Toxicology Program concluding it “may be linked to a number of health…problems,” and an FDA study finding that “BPA in small amounts doesn’t pose a health risk.”
