Regarding regulatory assessments of BPA, none support the claim that it is hazardous to humans. For instance, a comprehensive risk assessment by the European Union's Joint Research Centre found no convincing evidence that BPA affected development or was carcinogenic.
Last year the Japanese Ministry of Environment, after extensive tests of BPA, including on animals, concluded that there was no clear evidence that BPA at low doses had endocrine disrupting consequences.
In January of this year Germany's Institute for Risk Assessment concluded that it did not "recognize any health risk for babies that are fed from baby bottles" with BPA.
And in November of last year, Dr. George Pauli of FDA wrote Greg Aghazarian of the California State Assembly that "based on all the evidence available at this time, FDA sees no reason to change its long-held position that current uses with food are safe."

The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA), which represents the leading manufacturers of baby bottles in the United States, stands by the scientific research indicating that plastic baby bottles are safe.
Sound and respected scientific research has consistently shown there is no danger to consumers when products are used as intended. Trace levels of Bisphenol A from consumer products are well below any level that could cause harm to adults or to our children. Other scientific studies have shown that BPA has NO effect on the reproductive system, NO effect on the developmental system and NO carcinogenic (cancer-causing) effects. Recent reports indicating otherwise are both sensational and biased, and they have not received any validation from the scientific community.
Found in a wide variety of products, lightweight and shatter-resistant polycarbonate plastic has been the material of choice in baby bottles for 25 years. The potential for exposure to bisphenol A from bottles has been extensively examined and the results reviewed by government bodies worldwide that have responsibility for assessing the safety of consumer products. The scientists who conducted these safety studies on BPA come from across the globe, and include scientists from: the U.S. National Academy of Science, the U.S. National Toxicology Program, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Food and Drug Administration, the European Commission Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the Japanese National Institute of Health Sciences.
The data released at the California State Capitol was misleading and needlessly frightening to consumers. There is significant data available on the safety of BPA. From baby bottles and food packaging, to bicycle helmets and eyeglass lenses, as well as incubators and components of many life-saving medical devices, polycarbonate plastic makes everyday lives better and safer.
JPMA encourages parents to contact the bottle manufacturer if they have a question or concern. Most of the manufacturers have toll-free numbers and many have information posted on their Web sites.

所有測試標準lab test都唔會話有毒與無。唔係Yes or No咁簡單。一個lab test會話比你聽甚麼是安全標準。假設﹕你囉個奶樽去化驗有無重金屬﹐1-10為之安全。10以上係唔安全。我可以話比你聽天下間所有奶樽都有traces of 重金屬﹐就算玻璃﹐ PES及PPSU都會有。但市面上所有通過安全測試的奶樽﹐全部都係1-10(假設)安全標準內。唔通咁就可以公報出黎話所有奶樽都有重金屬﹐有毒﹐唔安全使用呢﹖
