There's a history of things like this: pfas, tobacco, asbestos, BPA, which are later found to cause issues. Generally regulation seems to be under the principle of "no concern until dangerous side-effects found" when it should obviously be the other way around (assumed dangerous until sufficiently rigorous trials show no adverse effects).
