I am grateful for OEC's efforts on BPA at the state level, which I do believe is spurring change at the federal level.  After hearing a Portland author speak at Powell's and reading her book "The Body Toxic" by Nena Baker, I learned that federal reforms are needed to ensure that we are protected from not just BPA but other hormone-disrupting chemicals (phthalates, PFOA, flame retardants)  commonly found in consumer products.
