HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) _ Attorneys general from three states are asking 11 companies that make baby bottles and baby formula containers to stop using the toxic chemical bisphenol A.
Letters signed by attorneys general from Connecticut, New Jersey and Delaware call the chemical, known as BPA, potentially harmful to infants.
The letters are being sent to baby bottle manufacturers Avent America Inc., Disney First Years, Gerber, Handicraft Co., Playtex Products Inc. and Evenflo Co., and formula makers Abbott, Mead Johnson, PBM Products, Nature's One and Wyeth.
BPA is used in lightweight, durable plastics. Products include some baby bottles, sippy cups and reusable food and drink containers.
