Bisphenol-A is a hormone-disrupting chemical considered to be potentially harmful to human health and the environment. It has been known that scratched and worn polycarbonate feeding bottles will leach this chemical into liquids.
For the past several years, scientists have increasingly warned manufacturers and consumers about the prospective dangers of bisphenol-A, a plastic softener used in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastic commonly used in baby bottles due to its durability and clarity. Some companies have responded by developing lines of bottles made with other plastic types; other new companies have sprung up specifically to serve needs some larger companies continue to ignore.
Companies unwilling to change are protected from public scrutiny by the FDA's unwillingness to study the dangers of BPA regardless of mounting evidence and the lack of any regulatory constraint to even reveal the types of plastics used in their products. to find out whether a specific product they use contains BPA.
