The article does have neutral statements on findings "Their effect in the body is unknown but scientists say there is an urgent need to assess the issue, particularly for infants." And the quoted statements from journals are also stating the facts and the general concern because the placenta is crucial for foetal development.
But prior to that in the article are statements like “It is like having a cyborg baby: no longer composed only of human cells, but a mixture of biological and inorganic entities,” and "the scientists said they could carry chemicals that could cause long-term damage or upset the foetus’s developing immune system"
The article presents these attention grabbing statements prior to some of the medical journal entries which is why they are likely accusing the article of "fear-mongering".
