From my understanding, BPA was just replaced either a similar chemicals https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S259018262...

If the law calls out BPA exclusively and not a more general description, it’s just a false sense of safety.

The ones I've been able to source easily are Phenol-Free, which used to be a pain to find before the eu ban, those are (I think) bpa and bps free at least. I'll need to double check to be certain though, I haven't considered them replacing BPA woth BPS, that definitely makes it a false sense of safety
Yes it specifically limits the sale and use of Bisphenol A. The obvious alternatives Bisphenol S and Bisphenol F are not mentioned.
