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.
The bottles, which were sold in France from late August 2023 until the beginning of June, do not feature on the Vilac online shop anymore.
Bisphenol A has been banned in France since 2015 after being linked with health problems including breast cancer and infertility.
Representatives of Vilac were not available for comment outside business hours, while Paris 2024 officials could not say how many bottles were recalled.
