Since our May 2008 report on health effects of bisphenol A, a chemical found in polycarbonate plastics, a draft report from the National Toxicology Program has reinforced concerns about the health effects of low exposure to BPA. Now, some manufacturers are offering products that claim to be “BPA-free.” Our tests of a limited number of baby bottles detected only trace amounts of BPA that are below levels likely to pose a risk for infants. These five bottles are a better choice than poly­carbonate for those who don’t want to use glass: BornFree, 9-fluid-ounce or 5-fluid-ounce twin packs; Evenflo Classic without BPA Custom Flow, 8-ounce, tinted; Medela Breast Milk Feeding and Storage Set, 5-ounce; Nuby Non-Drip, multicolored, by Luv n’ care, 10-ounce or 7-ounce, and MAM Silk-Touch Nipple Anti-Colic Valve (UltiVent), 9-ounce.
