More U.S. Retailers Give BPA the Boot
|
Canada's proposed ban on bisphenol-A (BPA), a hormone-like chemical in baby bottles and other plastic, has spurred U.S. retailers and legislators to try to phase out use of the ingredient.
Though no federal agency has moved to limit exposure to BPA, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services found "some concern" that low levels of BPA cause changes in behavior and the brain, prostate gland, mammary gland and the age at which girls enter puberty.
Retailers and manufacturers including Toys ‘R’ Us, Wal-Mart, Nalgene, and Playtex said they plan to phase out use of the chemical.
