The Eugene Register Guard reports Canadian retailers continue to pull some polycarbonate plastics products from store shelves in response in increasing concerns from customers about bisphneol A (BPA). BPA has allegedly come under great scrutiny in Canada as it is used in a plethora of polycarbonate plastics and is potentially dangerous to human health.Health Canada, the country’s national health agency, is reportedly conducting an assessment of BPA and intends to release a report on its safety next spring that could recommend that manufacturers phase out the use of the chemical.
