AUGUSTA - The political debate over bisphenol-A is heating up in Maine after Gov. Paul LePage's recent comments questioning whether the controversial chemical is as dangerous as many scientists claim. And LePage's unusual quip about some women growing "little beards" from exposure to BPA likely will add another wrinkle to an issue on track to be one of the most contentious of the legislative session.

Gov. Paul LePage's proposed repeal of Maine's efforts to restrict bisphenol A, a chemical that state health agencies concluded poses a health risk to babies, will likely test his ability to pass controversial measures, though Republicans control the Legislature. The proposal, submitted as part of the Republican's regulatory reform package, has generated criticism from the public - even before the governor made national headlines for saying that the worst-case impact of the endocrine-disrupting chemical would result in some women getting "little beards.

IN AMERICA, we shop with confidence. Thanks to federal food and product-safety guidelines, we cruise grocery-store aisles without worrying about botulism and shop big-box stores without fretting about choking hazards in toys. Yet there is a giant safety loophole. The vast majority of industrial chemicals have not been tested and declared safe before they are used in the marketplace, under the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act. We strongly support the Safe Chemicals Act of 2011, sponsored by Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., to update the anachronistic, topsy-turvy chemical regulations law.

A story on Page A1 Monday should have said that two studies on bisphenol-A cited by Gov. Paul LePage's spokesman were conducted by the World Health Organization and by the European Food Safety Authority, but highlighted by the Statistical Assessment Service in an e-mail he distributed. The Maine Event story on Page B2 Sunday should have said The Wharf in Hallowell is at 1 Wharf St.
