Bisphenol A
I don’t want to be a whiner, but can anyone confirm that the Oculus Rift is free of Bisphenol A? Many foams and plastics make use of this substance, but it is heavy carcinogenic and harmful to an unborn baby. :roll: Since I'm wearing it day and night and will give demos with it I think it's important to know.
"Bisphenol A, often known as BPA is a chemical found in hard plastics and the coatings of food and drinks cans which can behave in a similar way to estrogen and other hormones in the human body. BPA is used to make many products, including water bottles, baby bottles, dental fillings and sealants, dental devices, medical devices, eyeglass lenses, DVDs and CDs, household electronic and sports equipment. BPA can also be found in epoxy resins which is used as coatings inside food and drinks cans.
Bisphenol A is an endocrine disruptor - a substance which interferes with the production, secretion, transport, action, function and elimination of natural hormones. BPA can imitate our body's own hormones in a way that could be hazardous for health. Babies and young children are said to be especially sensitive to the effects of BPA."
