   [...] Safe Mama announced today that Playtex has published a list of their BPA free products as a service to their concerned customers.  They will also be giving away free samples of the original Playtex Drop-ins Nurser.  Here’s the info from Safe Mama’s website: A few of our readers have tipped us off about Playtex publishing a list of products that are BPA Free. While some of their products contain BPA and they still maintain that BPA is safe, they wanted to make sure to eliminate any confusion: “We know recent news coverage has created significant confusion about the use of BPA in plastic baby products,” said Gary Cohen, Vice President and General Manager Playtex®, Energizer® Personal Care Division. “While US and worldwide regulatory bodies continue to deem the ingredient safe, as a leader in infant care products, we are listening to consumer concerns and we believe the right thing to do is eliminate any confusion or doubt that parents may have. For thisreason, we will stop using BPA in our products this year and we offer consumers a chance to immediately switch to BPA-free infant products.” You can read the press release here. [...]

   I thought the drop-ins did contain pthalates. They do according to the BPA report on Z recommends

   Editor Note: The outer bottle is made with polycarbonate (PC), and the drop in liners are made with polyethylene (PET) plastic. I don’t think Z Recommends claims them to contain phthalates. Link to Z Recs report
