| The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reversed its position on the safety of Bisphenol A, (BPA) a chemical found in plastic bottles, food containers and thousands of consumer goods, saying it now has concerns about health risks. Many baby bottle manufacturers have already banned its use.
The FDA says that growing scientific evidence has linked the chemical to a host of problems, including cancer, sexual dysfunction and heart disease. It is particularly concerned about BPA's effect on the development of foetuses, infants and young children.
