Companies are taking note of consumer demand by increasingly marketing products that don't contain the dangerous chemical BPA, which can leech from plastic products into foods, beverages, and the environment. • Amazon.com's BPA-free section lists water bottles, baby bottles, and sippy cups. (However, I will be offering glass water bottles this summer with neoprene sleeves to protect them from breaking. So if you can hold out till then I would strongly recommend doing that as glass is the safest and most inert way to store your water, and far better than ANY plastic.)
• Rubbermaid says that some of its food storage containers and water bottles contain BPA, while others do not.
• Nalgene now offers BPA-free water bottles.
• Brita, which makes water filtration products, says that its pitchers and filters don't contain BPA.
• SC Johnson, which makes Saran brand wraps and Ziploc bags and containers, says that it doesn't use BPA in its products.
• The Children's Health Environmental Coalition offers tips for how to spot plastic household products with and without BPA.
• Consumer Reports describes its BPA test results and provides advice on choosing safe plastics.
• The Z Recommends blog posted an updated guide in February that lists children's feeding products that don't contain BPA.
• BPA-free products have even appeared on eBay.
