Sign the Petition for Toxic-Free Baby Bottles!

Stand up for children’s health! Please send an important message to leading manufacturers of baby bottles:  Toxic chemicals like bisphenol A (BPA) do not belong in baby bottles! 

As parents who care deeply about our children’s safety and consumers with purchasing power, we demand safer products!

Sign the petition below, and we encourage you to forward it to your friends and family.

To the CEO's of Avent, Disney/First Years, Dr. Brown’s, Evenflo, Gerber, and Playtex: We call on you -- the largest manufacturers of baby bottles in the U.S. -- to strengthen your company’s public commitment to safe products by phasing out bisphenol A (BPA) in baby bottles. Bisphenol A is a synthetic sex hormone that mimics estrogen and interferes with a baby's healthy growth and development. A recent report, “Baby’s Toxic Bottle: Bisphenol A Leaching from Popular Brands of Baby Bottles,” found that your company sells baby bottles that leach the toxic chemical BPA when heated. These findings are of great concern as baby bottles are often heated, - very warm liquids are poured into bottles, and bottles are frequently washed in hot water. Credible laboratory studies demonstrate that bisphenol A causes damage to reproductive, neurological, and immune systems during critical stages of development, such as infancy and in the womb. Levels sufficient to cause harm in animals are less than the average levels reported in people living throughout the developed world. Many scientists now suggest similar damage may be occurring in the human population. We’re concerned that the amount leaching from heated bottles is within the range shown to cause harm in animal studies and is therefore a health concern for infants. We won’t put our babies at unnecessary risk. Safer BPA-free baby bottles are available today, and we intend to support these companies. We call on your company to take a leadership role in making safer children’s products by developing a plan to phase out BPA. Thank you in advance for your leadership in making products safe for kids, families and workers.

How do you feel about toxic chemicals like BPA in baby products?

Number	Date	Name	Location	How do you feel about toxic chemicals like BPA in baby products?
6023	November 11, 2009	Dianne Aikey	Mulberry, FL	I feel that the word "toxic" should mean that it is NOT in anyone's food products or packaging, baby products or adult. It is our responsibility to stop the cycle of chemical dosing and medication fix that america is involved in. We create health problems, then prescribe a pill for the resulting health complications. Focus on the symptom and the actual cause will never be addressed.
6022	November 11, 2009	George Freeman III	,	Let's rid the entire industry of BPA products baby bottles, water bottles, etc.
6021	October 10, 2009	Sydnia Crosbie	,	This is ridiculous. Why even take the chance!
6020	September 29, 2009	Caitlin Williams	,	I think that the fact that our government allows us to ingest a "safe" amount of this toxic chemical to be disgusting and disgraceful. We should not place a desire for financial gain above the health and welfare of our children.
6019	September 20, 2009	Leszli Swearengin	Round Rock, TX	It shouldn't be in any products that we are exposed to constantly.
6018	September 12, 2009	Elayne Feinsod	Acton, MA
6017	September 11, 2009	Joymarie Suzuki	,	Why would I want my child to use something toxic? They are just beginning their lives and already they are being poisoned. What's the logic there? The people designing and/or producing these items must not have children or do not care about the well-being of their own.
6016	August 18, 2009	Melissa Diaz	Portage, IN	I think it is horrible. I think it needs to banned just like lead and other harmful things have been banned in baby items and kids toys.
6015	August 16, 2009	Lori Quinn	Grapevine, TX	Through a trial and error to solve my newborn granddaughter's acid reflux (breast milk in a BPA-FREE plastic bottle), we discovered the solution was glass bottes! Even though they plastic bottles were BPA-Free, clearly there is still some chemical leaching, even when the bottle is not heated! We've since shared our story with other mothers and they, too, are discovering the same results as us. It is insane that we risk our children's health like this!! If you have experienced this same dilemma, please go to our website http://bottleswottles.com/babyacidreflux.html and share your story with us. We are on a mission to educate parents of the dangers of plastic, even when it's BPA-Free.
6014	August 10, 2009	Ms. Evans evans	San Diego, CA
6013	August 09, 2009	kristin wade	port st. lucie, FL

6011	July 27, 2009	cesa Kobe-Smith	Brooklyn, NY
6010	July 20, 2009	Mary Arnold	Princeton, NJ	I think it's no different than China putting melamine in baby formula. No one seems to take any responsibility for the safety of the products they make. It's time to tax these irresponsible companies and use the money generated for US healthcare initiatives.
6009	July 19, 2009	Neill Anne richter	greensboro, NC	Steps must be takn NOW to protect our children from toxic chemicals in baby products.
6008	July 09, 2009	Kelly ONeal	,
6007	June 24, 2009	Brigette Hutchison	Austin, TX	Americans need to protect our future. The DNA altering effects are mind-blowing to me. Please protect our DNA!
6006	June 18, 2009	Hilary Pea	Reno, NV	I think we should be fair to our environment and our children and keep only organic ingredients in our baby products.
6005	June 14, 2009	Carmel Opre	Downers Grove, IL
6004	June 09, 2009	Teresa Floyd	Cleveland, OH	In this country we have the resources to make less hazardous materials, especially for children. There is no excuse for not removing this chemical from any product that could cause harm to humans, especially babies.
6003	June 09, 2009	Ben Malakh	Passaic, NJ
6002	June 08, 2009	Nicole Vanadia	Florence, SC	Anything that could be potentially harmful should be kept away from people, especially our children. This chemical obviously has not been properly tested and should be removed immediately from all products.
6001	June 07, 2009	Heather Denges	Dunellen, NJ	Even if some aren't convinced about the dangers of BPA, when it comes to our children wouldn't we rather be safe than sorry.
6000	June 04, 2009	Joan Sidney	Storrs, CT	Horrified!
5999	June 04, 2009	betty weldon	, FL	It is totally unacceptable that the governement is blinded by large corp and their unethical of use of toxic materials in products that we use. Our lives and children's lives are at risk, and they do not even disclose problems.
