U.S. Lawmakers Move to Ban BPA From Food, Beverage Containers

Packaging News: "The bills would immediately outlaw the sale of all food and drink containers made with BPA. Anything on store shelves would have to be removed. It would suspend the manufacture of food packaged in containers that contain the chemical, but items already made could be sold.

Scientists and environmentalists praised the move as an acknowledgment of the chemical's danger, but some worried that more needs to be done to study how humans are exposed to the chemical."
