"We have designed our resins with the environment and the safety of consumers in
mind and therefore our products are not part of the current controversy over
BPA," continued Mr. Scheer. "We feel it is important to reassure consumers that
using products made of Cereplast resins is safe, posing no harm to human health
or the environment. It is especially important that products such as food service
utensils, toys and infant furniture, including bathing tubs, are free of BPA."

The daily upper limit of safe exposure to BPA is 50 mg per kilogram of body
weight, according to the US Food and Drug Administration. This acceptable limit
is based on experiments conducted in the 1980s. However, consumer groups and
researchers point out that exposure to lower doses has since been linked to a
variety of health problems, including reproductive abnormalities, increased risk
of breast and prostate cancers, diabetes and heart disease.

Mr. Scheer added, "At this stage, not knowing if there is a safe level of
exposure to any toxin found to cause disease in humans or animals, our goal is to
be zero-tolerance of any compounds proven to cause harm; and, Cereplast products
provide that assurance to manufacturers and consumers."
