OK there is a certain baby store that all of US go to that shocked me. I would believe that a company, regardless if it is private or public, that decided to enter the child care industry-WOULD have a deep commitment to the health and welfare of kids.
As parents of newborns and toddlers you may have been paying attention to BPA free products and the concern some have expressed about needing them.
In 2007, a panel was commissioned by the National Toxicology Program which evaluates chemicals for safety. The panel issued a statement that it had "minimal concern" about most human health effects from BPA, but "some concern for neural and behavioral effects in fetuses, infants, and children at current human exposure."
There has been more research in this field since then and while I am far from any expert in this area…..wait for it……here is my dilemma. On the side of caution:
Should a store built on the health and welfare of kids be selling non-BPA free bottles at half price to unload them on unsuspecting/uninformed consumers ? NO AND THEY ARE!
They said they were waiting for the shipment of BPA free bottles and had to unload these!
Now all of us have some amount of BPA in our body from our diet, canned foods, containers etc. Still when the jury is out on BPA long term effects-why not take a more cautious approach.
Ask questions-it is your health.

Val I see both sides. I have worked retail for years (well used to) and businees is in business to make money plain and simple. They don't want to get a total loss on those BPA bottles and I get that. At the end of the year it is about how much you made not how many kids you helped.
As a parent and just as a human I wish that business would look out for us. there are so many people who don't know the dangers of BPA for whatever reason and can't make an informed decision.
