While I'm sure the reusable bags may contain harmful bacteria is some cases, I believe the time sensitive article was published to scare consumers in California. The American Chemistry Council conducted the study, which should be taken into account. They are an association of chemical and plastic companies who support and prop up the plastic industry by proposing their own standards on environmental hazards. In this case, they are suggesting that California shouldn't pass the bill to end the use of plastic bags. It's a very biased study with a specific agenda that warrants an independent study by environmentalists.
