QUOTE

Canada became the first country to declare the widely used chemical bisphenol A unsuitable for use in baby bottles and set a ban mechanism in motion Friday.

apparently this stuff is in almost everything from plastic wrap, pop can lining, etc.
and the heat of the formula was leeching the chemical out. i guess that's the price we pay for a disposable society.

another link

US following suit

I am so glad I do not have to worry about this anymore...both my children would have used the bad bottles. Em used the playtex angled bottles(not drop ins) and Aiden used the Dr. Browns(which I saw on GMA this morning as the bad ones) because they are supposed to help with puking. They worked so good..........NOT! -------------------- [/IMG]

EVERY sippy cup with straw that they carry is on the recall list. They are all being taken off the shelves. Then I get home to discover he chewed through the straw while I was gone. He is going to be one angry little boy. --------------------
