Pretty damning that the FDA only issued a report on this after a court ordered them to. I can't really help but believe that this is willful negligence - if some of these have already been banned for use in children's toys, why would it be fine in a plastic bag the child holds food in? I ate a sandwich every day from a plastic bag for ~12 years...

Study after study focus on chemical substances I have no empirical understanding of. - Give me a list of types of plastic that use these plasticizers. - Give me a list of consumer brands that use those plastics. - Give me a list of hygiene products that use phtalates under the "perfume" label in their composition. Publish something like this and consumers will take their money elsewhere and the Unilever's, P&G, and J&J, of the world can take notes.
