Citizen petition requesting that FDA remove its prior sanction of five ortho-phthalates and ban eight ortho-phthalates
A coalition of environmental and health organizations petitioned the FDA to remove prior sanctions for five ortho-phthalates and ban eight others, arguing that these substances are pharmacologically related and pose cumulative health risks. The petitioners assert that current dietary exposure for women and children exceeds a proposed safety tolerance of 3 μg/kg bw/day, particularly for DEHP, DINP, and DIDP. They argue that the FDA's existing approvals are based on outdated data and that the agency has failed to conduct necessary post-market evaluations since 2008.
