US to Ban Bisphenol-A

US Senator Chuck Schumer is in the midst of proposing a legislation to ban the sale of children’s products and food containers containing bisphenol A due to its linkage in the risk of cancer and developmental defects to high doses of BPA.

BPA is used in the manufacture of polycarbonate (PC) for PC bottles especially for PC baby products. America's biggest retailer, Wal-Mart is fast reacting to the news by phasing out products containing BPA. Others like Playtex Infant Care and Nalgene Outdoor Products are also in the move to phase out products containing the chemical.
