Over the past few years, using plastic products which contain BPA (bisphenol A) has gained a lot of negative attention from environmental and health groups. BPA, a chemical used to harden plastics, is found in many common household items including CDs, sunglasses metal can lining and bottle tops. Some studies have linked it to cancer, diabetes, heart disease and developmental problems in children. Health advocates say exposure to the chemical could present a particular problem to developing fetuses. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration decided in early June 2009 to reconsider its position that BPA is safe at levels found in baby bottles and other common products. Research studies are currently underway to determine the health impacts of using products containing BPA.
