CHICAGO BANS BPA IN BABY BOTTLES AND SIPPY CUPS
The Chicago City Council voted Wednesday to make Chicago the first U.S. city to ban bisphenol-A (BPA) in baby bottles and sippy cups. I applaud the efforts of the City Council in protecting our smallest consumers from harm. The chemical has been linked to cancer, diabetes, reproductive harm and other ailments.
The shelves of many stores such as Target and Babies 'R' Us already contain products touting BPA-free products. Nonetheless, the City's stance on this product goes an extra step in ensuring that our little ones are protected from this chemical.
Treehugger.com has covered the dangers of BPA and other plasticizers in our products and is a good resource for consumers. Unfortunately, BPA is in many of our products, including, some canned foods and plastic water bottles.
