Safe Baby Bottle Act

This act would phase out BPA in baby bottles, food and beverage cans, and other consumer products.

 

 

***

 

 

More and more evidence shows that the chemical bisphenol A (BPA) is harmful to children’s health. Laboratory studies have linked BPA to cancer, miscarriage, obesity, reproductive problems, and hyperactivity. Yet manufacturers can still legally use BPA in products such as baby bottles, infant formula cans, and other food containers.

 

The Safe Baby Bottle Act would address this problem by phasing out BPA in baby bottles, food and beverage cans, and other consumer products. Learn more about the bill here.

 

Unfortunately, opposition from chemical companies and Wal-Mart blocked the Safe Baby Bottle Act of 2009 from becoming law in 2009. The legislation will be put forward again in the 2010 legislative session. We will work hard to generate even more support for the legislation to pass in 2010 and to protect children's health.
