Toxics Link released a report “Bottles can be Toxic: An
Investigative Study on Bisphenol-A in baby Feeding Bottles in India”. The
report found that baby feeding bottles sold in India are made of Bisphenol-A or
BPA; a chemical which is endocrine disrupting and impacts the mental and
physical health. Currently, a range of chemicals are used in manufacturing
plastic products that interfere with our body’s hormonal production, release,
transportation, binding, and other activities that are instrumental in normal
human growth; and one of the most harmful is the Bisphenol A (BPA). The study will not only help
the policy makers and enforcing agencies in taking immediate steps, but will
also act as a grave reminder to the manufacturers of such feeding bottles.
