Paris 2024 Water Bottles Recalled for Health Hazards

French authorities have recalled Paris 2024-branded metal water bottles due to high levels of Bisphenol A, a chemical known for its endocrine-disrupting properties. The recall comes one week before the Olympics. The affected bottles were sold between August 2023 and June 2024 by the French company Vilac.

French authorities have issued an urgent recall on Paris 2024-branded metal water bottles just days before the Olympics, citing excessive levels of the endocrine disruptor Bisphenol A. The chemical, banned in France since 2015, is linked to serious health issues including breast cancer and infertility.

Manufactured by Vilac, the water bottles were sold between late August 2023 and early June 2024. They have since been removed from Vilac's online store, as noted by the government alert system, Rappel Conso.

Attempts to obtain comments from Vilac and Paris 2024 officials were unsuccessful. The exact number of bottles affected by the recall remains undisclosed.
