The European Commission has banned the use of baby bottles containing the chemical Bisphenol-A (BPA) from the early next year, fearing it may pose harm to children.The compound may affect the development of the immune system and its response in young children, the commission said.
Parents "can be sure that as of mid-2011 plastic infant feeding bottles will not include BPA," said John Dalli, commissioner in charge of health and consumer policy.
BPA, widely used to make hard and clear plastic, is commonly found in food and drink containers. Canada is the first country classifying BPA as a toxic substance despite industry opposition. The use of bottles containing the chemical are also banned in the United States and Australia.
The European Union will ban not only the manufacturing of feeding bottles with BPA from March 2011 but also their import and sale from June 2011, the commission announced in a statement.
The decision does not require the European Parliament approval, as the organization has already called for the ban of BPA in June.
France and Denmark are the only European countries with unilaterally imposed bans on baby bottles containing the suspected chemical.

They knew it was gender bending poison decades ago, didn't you? Wonder when the first evidence on the dangers of smoking was known, must have been long before 1950. Poison us, then when people start figuring it out, pretend to 'learn' of the 'risks' of this poison. Very slick you scum initiates. Soon you're going to have to 'learn' of the 'risks' of (among other things) GM, vaccines, and the project you now call 'geoengineering', nudge wink.
