Great news for California today. The senate health committee voted 6-3 to approve the “Toxin-Free Toddlers and Babies Act,” by Senator Carole Midgen.
The bill bans any detectable level of the toxic chemical bisphenol A (BPA) from all toys and child care products sold in California. Bisphenol A is a widely used synthetic chemical and a key ingredient in plastics, including baby bottles, formula cans and the lining of other canned products.
Eight other states are moving legislation to do the same. If you don’t think that writing to your local senator makes a difference, this is proof.

Do you think that they will recall the bottles and other items and we will get some sort of refund?
THANK GOODNESS!! How long do we think before this is ENFORCED? I am tired of researching every plastic item I buy for my son, and writing to manufacturers.
Why is this just in California. Did we not learn anything in this country from the “lead” issues, or the chromium, or “insert your favorite chemical here” problem…
If it isn’t good for children and people in California, why can my daughter have it in NJ!?
