In one of the most significant regulatory moves in decades, likened to the US’s ban of DDT 30 years ago, Canada is set to become the first country in the world to list bisphenol-A as a toxic substance and ban the use of polycarbonate baby bottles!! Woo-hoo! Power to the consumer! Toys are the next regulatory frontier….

Better Safe Than Sorry, Ottawa Says of Ban of Plastic Bottles
I find it interesting that the first country to ban this is a country where no bisphenol-A is manufactured. Notice how representatives from the US (where it IS manufactured) are condemning the decision….money really does make the world go ‘round. So sad.

It is very interesting. I have written to Avent and heard nothing. I have also written to Tupperware and they will not stand behind their lifetime guarentee, because “it is safe” according to their experts. I can’t use baby bottles safely, but I can cook my child’s food in polycarbonate and that is safe? I hope Canada makes a ruling for a complete ban and forces companies to pay us back for their mistake. God forbid anyone other than the customer lose money.
