Minnesota bans BPA

As stated on Consumerist.com, Minnesota has become the first state in the US to ban bisphenol-A from baby drinking bottles and cups.

Bisphenol-A is a toxic chemical found in many of the products we use, including canned and bottled food. Its use has been questioned since the 1930s and it has only been in the last few years that governments have begun to take action against it.

The government of Canada already banned the import of baby bottles containing bisphenol-A in 2008. Unfortunately, most other products containing the chemical continue to get the green light.
