France Bans Baby Bottles Containing Bisphenol A

On Wednesday, French lawmakers passed legislation that will ban baby bottles containing the chemical Bisphenol A from being developed.

However, the deputies stopped short of banning the chemical from all plastics.

BPA is suspected of harming human development. It is used in the production of polycarbonated plastics and epoxy resins found in baby bottles, plastic containers, the lining of cans used for food and beverages, and in dental sealants.
