Group sues FDA over inaction on BPA

The Journal Sentinel has been investigating the federal government's lack of regulation of the chemical. The FDA initially relied on industry-funded studies, which argued that BPA was safe for all uses.

Relied on industry funded studies, and maybe some other funding as well? Of course the industry is going to tell you it's safe, they funded the study so obviously they wanted to use this chemical.

The FDA was happy to take them at their word, and that's probably not all. Now the only action they can muster is inaction, perhaps they are afraid to bite the hand that fed them?

BPA is found in the majority of canned foods, such as canned fruits and vegetables, processed foods, liquid infant formula, canned soda and beer, Janssen said.

I'm more concerned with the fact that they are not required to list it on the products it's used in. So chances are you've already been exposed to it and never knew about it. Which sounds to me like an epic fail, isn't the FDA supposed to protect us from exactly this?
