BPA- Hazardous Chemical Found in Baby Products

The Seattle Times urged Washington lawmakers to take action against bisphenol A (BPA) related products marketed for children. BPA can have hazardous health affects and can be found in products from baby bottles to drinking cups and plastic tableware. Because of the lack of oversight and accountability, children safety is at risk. Last week, the FDA realized the risk and released a statement in favor of stopping the production of BPA-containing baby bottles and infant-feeding cups.
