States Ask Baby Product Companies to Avoid BPA
By EmploymentCrossing
Attorneys general from three states are asking 11 companies that make baby bottles and baby formula containers to no longer use the chemical bisphenol A.
The letters, signed by attorneys general from Connecticut, New Jersey, and Delaware, call the chemical, known as BPA, potentially harmful to infants.
“I am alarmed by recent studies confirming that BPA leaches from these products into the foods they hold,” Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said in the letters. “The preventable release of a toxic chemical directly into the food we eat is unconscionable and intolerable.”
Letters were sent Friday to companies including Disney First Years, Gerber, and Evenflo.
The federal Food and Drug Administration, which has the power to ban or limit use of BPA in food containers and medical devices, has not recommended any change in consumer habits. Last month, the agency told consumers to avoid plastic containers imprinted with the recycling number “7,” as many of those contain BPA.
Some US stores, such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Toys “R” Us, have already said they’re phasing out products that contain BPA.
BPA is used in lightweight, durable plastics. Products include some baby bottles, sippy cups, and reusable food and drink containers such as reusable sports water bottles, Tupperware, compact discs, DVDs, eyeglass lenses, and sports safety goggles and helmets.
