Baby bottle makers sued over bisphenol A use
Thu, Jun 19, 2008 (HealthDay News) — Five baby bottle makers are facing a lawsuit over their use of the chemical bisphenol A, the Associated Press reported.In the suit filed last week in U.S. District Court, four Ohio parents allege the companies knew that bisphenol A was associated with health problems. The lawsuit cites scientific studies that concluded the chemical seeped from plastic bottles and sippy-cups into liquid. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages.The five companies named in the lawsuit are: Ohio-based Evenflo; Illinois-based Avent America Inc.; Missouri-based Handicraft Co.; Connecticut-based Playtex Products Inc; and the Swiss company Gerber Novartis, the AP reported.Company spokespeople either refused comment or weren't immediately available to return calls from the AP.Tests on rats suggest that bisphenol A may be associated with brain and behavior changes, early puberty and possible precancerous changes in the prostate and breast, the wire service said. -- HealthDay
