Wisconsin Senate Bans BPA from Baby Bottles


On Tuesday, the Wisconsin state Senate has passed a bill that would ban bisphenol A, a controversial chemical found in some plastic goods, from baby bottles and other cups for children under age 3.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said research shows cause for concern over the chemical's potential effect on children. The 6 major makers of baby bottles and infant feeding cups no longer use BPA in those products in the U.S.

Connecticut and Minnesota passed similar bans on BPA last year.
