What this family is

Bisphenols are a family of synthetic compounds (most prominently bisphenol A, BPA) used to make polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. BPA is restricted in baby bottles and food-contact materials in the EU; structural analogues (BPS, BPF) have entered the market as replacements but their long-term safety profile remains under review. ECHA classifies BPA as a substance of very high concern.
