PARIS :French authorities have recalled Paris 2024-branded metal water bottles containing excessive levels of the endocrine disruptor Bisphenol A, less than a week before the start of the Olympics.
The bottles made by French company Vilac contain levels of the chemical that are"not in compliance with regulations", the government website Rappel Conso said.
"Discussions with the licensee are underway to understand the causes of the non-compliance and to ensure that appropriate actions are taken," Paris 2024 organisers told Reuters.
