Let's not forget about aluminum bottles. We have recently been reminded that aluminum bottles contain a resin lining which has BPA.  SIGG helped bring this to light when they were caught misrepresenting the presence of BPA in their "BPA free" bottles.  It is likely "only" a small amount of BPA but for those of us seeking true BPA free products, any amount at all is too much.

I live under the precautionary possible whenever possible.  I will not use ANY "baby" products or food service/storage containers which contain BPA.  I no longer purchase soda, and I am weaning off canned foods except Eden organic foods.

It is appauling to me that this chemical is allowed to be used when there are alternatives.

I am happy to hear that the FDA is at least acknowledging 'some concern'.

I am also thrilled that the likes of WalMart will not sell products containing BPA.  I have not had a tough time finding products that do not conatain BPA and any fractional increase in cost is worth it when considering the potential harm caused.

I am extremely grateful to Andrea Durbin and OEC for the efforts put forth to eliminate BPA in children's products.
