Feinstein's call for BPA ban bill riles lobbies

SFGate: "But Feinstein's legislation would put pressure on the industry to find an alternative by granting companies a renewable one-year waiver while they try to find a substitute and requiring in the meantime that they label their products as containing the chemical.

Thirty major chemical and food manufacturing industry groups have banded together to defeat Feinstein's efforts.

They point to findings by the World Health Organization and food safety agencies in Europe and Japan that have found the chemical safe."
