The perversity of how product decision get driven by what people know about is really on display with BPA. BPA gets a lot of press, people realize it’s bad, so companies start replacing it in their products. Except it gets replaced by things that are worse, like BPS, but there’s been no public outcry about that, so people buy the damn stuff because it’s “BPA-free.” Even if you know about the dangers, it doesn’t necessarily help as the product may not give any information beyond “BPA-free,” so you’re screwed either way.
