Bisphenol A and Product Safety

Under normal conditions of use, there are no known health risks from exposure to bisphenol A from consumer products, including food-contact materials.

Recent studies have shown that under exaggerated (unrealistic) conditions, polycarbonate plastics and epoxy can linings may release trace levels of residual bisphenol A. Testing using realistic conditions, those that simulate actual consumer use, does not indicate any reason for a health concern regarding exposure to bisphenol A.
