The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) filed a lawsuit against the FDA on Tuesday for what it deems the agency’s unsatisfactory regulation of BPA.
Maintaining that the NRDC suit is simply media grandstanding, ACSH’s Dr. Elizabeth Whelan points out that the “FDA has studied BPA through and through and has decided that it is safe enough to remain on the market. This isn’t a decision they made arbitrarily or capriciously — it was based on decades’ worth of scientific data.”
