Assemblywoman Lois Wolk, D-Davis, has blasted a media campaign run by the American Chemistry Council to sway key legislators' votes on legislation to restrict the chemical Bisphenol A in plastic baby bottles and other baby food containers. Wolk called the misleading campaign counterproductive and "toxic to the political process."

"This is exactly the kind of deceptive lobbying tactic that I've been fighting since the day I arrived in the Legislature. It's toxic to the political process," said Wolk, describing mailers sent in her district with an image of an empty shopping cart and claiming that if SB 1713 is passed "your favorite products may soon disappear."
