Bisphenol A is used in the production of epoxy resins and polycarbonate plastics. See the WWF website for more information.
The situation has now become so serious and from February 2005 a new EU standard for testing feeding bottles was introduced throughout Europe.
These tests have always included checks for well known dangerous chemicals such as lead and mercury in the components of the bottle. However from the above date manufacturers will now have to test for leaching of Bisphenol-A.
It has been known for some time that scratched and worn polycarbonate feeding bottles will leach this chemical. A report published in the UK in March 2004 showed that polycarbonate bottles of all types leach increasing levels of Bisphenol-A as they are used and sterilised. |
