While scientists continue to assess the health risks of BPA to consumers, the FDA is taking on a bigger risk by taking no action to protect the health and safety of consumers.

Given that manufacturers seem to be doing a good job of removing BPA from products, I would not consider the delay from the FDA to be a big risk.

It may be that the FDA is mistaken is concluding that they do not have enough data to ban BPA now, but if it is true that they do not have enough data, it is only prudent for them to wait until they have more data before making decisions.

We all want to be safe, but we also need to make decisions based on facts.
