@SenatorJColeman So great to see bipartisan support for this patient safety issue. Thank you!

📢BREAKING: From Allentown to the world: @BBraunUSA is pumping $20M into its PA plant to boost infusion therapy production—creating 200 new jobs & fueling hospitals, clinics, & @BayerPharma’s diagnostic facility. PA makes the equipment that saves lives. https://t.co/xH24d5IBMR

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

When companies like B. Braun bet on Pennsylvania, they’re not only creating jobs in our Commonwealth – they’re providing pathways of opportunity for young apprentices like Tessa.

My Administration is proud to invest in this expansion because we believe in folks like Tessa – and we'll always have their backs.

Pennsylvania is leading in life sciences.

Join me at B. Braun Medical Inc. for a major announcement that will create hundreds of jobs and expand economic opportunity here in the Lehigh Valley. https://t.co/znhdkXYaCm

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

Pennsylvania is on the rise — and major investments from companies like B. Braun are a big reason why.

B. Braun’s latest investments in PA will be used to procure top-of-the-line equipment to help them manufacture more of the cutting-edge medical products that are used for live-saving treatments — all while creating 200 jobs here in the Lehigh Valley.

We know how to get it done here in PA.

I am proud that HB 592 https://t.co/MmEhAyM1a4 the Toxic-Free Medical Devices Act of 2025 passed the House today. This bill will remove DEHP, a chemical used in the manufacture of IV bags and tubing. This will help protect our patients. #RepReederNC #ncpol

[7News DC @7NewsDC]

There is a chemical used to make plastic flexible that is so dangerous, it was removed from children’s toys nearly 20 years ago. Yet we discovered it is still widely in use across America in hospital IV bags and tubing.

[U.S. Congressman Ryan Mackenzie @RepMackenzie]

Recently had the opportunity to tour the impressive B Braun facility in our region. Manufacturing remains at the heart of the Greater Lehigh Valley's economy, and I'm committed to ensuring that workers and employers are getting the support that they need in order to continue thriving.

B. Braun, a leading international life sciences company with its U.S. headquarters in Lehigh Valley, PA, was highlighted by Gov. Josh Shapiro during his budget address for saving lives, and being an economic driver.

It’s a critical piece of medical equipment: 90% of hospital patients receive an IV, a trusted way of administering crucial drugs and treatments. But there is a serious health threat that could be lurking, not in the medication, but in what delivers it.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨Setting a first-ever, high-bar for patient safety, the California Senate unanimously passed the Toxic-Free Medical Devices Act (AB 2300) in a bipartisan vote of 40-0, banning the use of the toxic chemical DEHP in IV bags and tubing manufactured, sold, or used in the state. The bill already passed the Assembly in May and is now on its way to the Governor where it’s expected to be signed into law (stay tuned for an action)!

The passage of this groundbreaking legislation will be a significant step toward protecting patients nationwide, as 90% of hospital patients in the U.S. receive IV therapy or infusion, and many are unknowingly exposed to this harmful chemical that is linked to cancer.

90% of hospital patients receive #IV therapy. But did you know that 70% of IV bags contain #DEHP, a #toxicchemical linked to #breastcancer, #livercancer, #lungcancer, #testicularcancer and reproductive harm?

➡️https://t.co/9TuEFaNcc7

Take action today and support the Toxic-Free Medical Devices Act (AB 2300), which would ban the manufacture, sale, and use of DEHP in IV bags and tubing in California!

[Center for Environmental Health @CenterEnvHealth]

Have you ever had an IV? Do you know someone currently receiving IV treatments?

Read @BCPPartners new report, “Toxic-Free IV: Getting Harmful Chemicals Out of IV Bags and Tubing,” and tell your California state senators to support #ToxicFreeIV. https://t.co/ddJJOmOZh5

You can’t say it any better than this! It is unacceptable that today – in the United States of America – millions of kids who grew up just like I did still lack access to quality education simply because of their zip code.
