shouldn't the 'further study' have come BEFORE allowing this product out? there are things the government will NOT approve (and you cannot convince me it has nothing to do with big bidnez not being involved) and things they'll say yippee let's get it on the market BEFORE testing is done. they're a bunch of big fat stupidheads just like everyone else and who pays? we do that's who. if we don't make it unsafe in our OWN country, let's send the job out to ANOTHER country who'll not only make it UNSAFE, they'll make it CHEAPLY and UNSAFE(ly)
F**K 'em all

It urged further study.
The report marks a significant departure from earlier positions taken by the government, which had maintained there was a negligible human health risk associated with BPA.
