    Bisphenol A update

    Consumer Reports News: April 17, 2008 03:01 PM

    We recently reported in this blog on bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical widely used in the manufacture of some baby bottles (polycarbonate: clear, hard plastic bottles), food containers and certain food can linings.

    Canadian health authorities have announced their plan to designate BPA as a toxic substance, a first step toward a ban on the sale of products with BPA. Please read our Safety blog for the full story.

    The National Toxicology Program of the Department of Health and Human Services recently released a draft report on the potential for developmental and reproductive health risks associated with exposure to BPA. 

    Also see the Consumer Reports May story on BPA in bottles and cans. And stay tuned for further updates.
