Toxic Baby Bottles
This report analyzes the extent to which five popular brands
of baby bottles leach bisphenol A, a developmental, neural, and
reproductive toxicant, into liquids coming into contact with
them. We found that all five brands leach bisphenol A at
dangerous levels found to cause harm in numerous laboratory animal
studies.
