Senators Weigh In on Baby Bottle Ingredient

Senate Consumer Affairs subcomittee members sharply critized federal agencies for a slow reaction to the problem of bisphenol A (BPA) in baby bottles and water bottles and other plastic drinking containers. As the linked blog post and article both describe, the National Institutes of Health found cause for "some concern" that BPA has a harmful effect on very young children.

The Food and Drug Administration does not recommend that consumers immediately cease using products with BPA. Some Senators, however, are pushing for legislation that would ban BPA in products intended to be used by children aged 7 or younger.
