Demanding BPA Free Machines. Petition Maybe?

TexasMommy wrote:I am very late to this discussion, but it would be great if you could pull together that petition, or maybe we could start by asking/pleading with our doctors and DME providers! Why would anyone want to expose him/herself to even the possibility of the dangers of BPA, if it could be avoided ?
I'm sure we all know that some businesses will sadly defend their positions and practices in the interest of profits, even if those positions and practices can be harmful to those who are served by the business. Think of big tobacco decades ago....and there are more recent examples. It doesn't seem right that business interests can sometimes influence oversight organizations that are intended to regulate an industry or protect the public, but it happens!
Unfortunately, it sometimes takes decades to prove that something is dangerous enough that it needs to be avoided or eliminated, so why not push for change when BPA is already known to be dangerous at some level?
Yes, we will all die eventually and from something, but I prefer to delay my death as long as possible and will avoid known risks where I can. I want to see my young kids grow up, and I want to be Grandma some day, so I will sign that petition any day!
