That is the point. They are all able to hide behind a cloud of doubt and lack of clarity. That's the spin.
What's not addressed is the possibility aggregate - or worse, exponential - effect of each individual "Not us our data says becoming something far more (read: worse). So A, B and C do their data. But reality is not a silo. Those things combine. Who is addressing that? Just because that's extremely difficult doesn't mean it doesn't exist, doesn't matter.
Keep in mind, as I understand it. A company can put a new chemical in a product without approval. It's only after the fact if it's proven unsafe will it be taken off the market (and perhaps only in select countries).
Conclusion: Yes, it easy to say "It's only X amount of B." But it's not only B we're being exposed to. It's a whole bleepin' 1,000 letter alphabet of unknowns. No one should be comfortable with that. Yet we are.
