BPA-Free bottles?
Posted by mom2one on Apr 23, 2008
Was forwarded by friends on reports regarding BPA (Bisphenol A), a chemical that makes hard plastic, which makes about 95% of baby bottles in the market.
Including famous brands like Avent! (except for their VIA cups) Since no recall has been made and Avent website says that whilst their bottles contain BPA, but they think that it’s still safe for consumption (http://www.avent.com/uk/en/learn_more_faq_bottle_feeding.php#q20).
A visit to Jusco store and you will also see that some bottles have a special ‘BPA-free’ tag, Nuby brand if not mistaken.
I’m rather concerned, since this BPA seems to cause quite some serious problems later on in life (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_A). I’m currently using the Avent range of bottles. Doing away with those bottles means lots of $$ leh!
Anyone has better idea if we should change out bottles or it’s just an over-reported incident?
