I wouldn't place a great deal of faith in consumer protection agencies safeguarding the population when, here in America, conservative pro-business players actively undermine regulatory bodies at EVERY turn, in EVERY industry. Whether it's Flint and Michigander water (or Mississippi's, or New York's drinking water for that matter), or collapsing buildings outside of Miami (and in New York city), the wellbeing of business interests trumps our safety as citizens. The danger that the OP inquired about is real and short of being a chemist, or having direct experience in the plastics industry, I'd take any attempts to disabuse toxic plastic caution with a grain of salt.

Stay informed. Stay safe. Never take second hand info as unassailable fact and find out for yourself.

2019 saw a deluge of articles about toxic plastics out of China, with the hazard appearing on my radar even earlier circa 2016-17 (this is just a tiny sample):
