Toys 'R' Us to Phase Out Bottles With BPA Chemical
Posted on: Wednesday, 23 April 2008, 18:00 CDT
WAYNE, N.J. - Toys "R" Us says it plans to phase out all plastic baby bottles containing a chemical that's facing safety questions.
The toy and baby products retailer said Monday that it hopes to have all baby feeding products containing bisphenol A, or BPA, off the shelves by the end of the year.
The U.S. government's National Toxicology Program says there is "some concern" about BPA. Experiments on rats linked the chemical to changes in behavior and the brain, early puberty and possibly precancerous changes in the prostate and breast.
Canada has said it may ban use of BPA in baby bottles.
