I think it's paving the way for banning it in other items - I just hope it won't take too long! Saskboy, It looks like your Brita is safe!

Aurelia, I tend to agree - I’d like to see BPA banned (especially in food and drink containers, pacifiers and baby teethers), but the upcoming baby bottle ban is still a huge step. I think it’s paving the way for banning it in other items - I just hope it won’t take too long!

Like formula fed babies should be protected but screw the rest of us? Unless, the Tories think bare breasts are only for strippers and paying customers? And the biggest irony, this does nothing to help the men who are suffering in greater and greater numbers from testicular and prostate cancers, which this chemical has been linked with. I hope Tony Clement checks his boys regularly....he may wish he's banned more of this stuff earlier.
