Wal-Mart, Canada to Blacklist Bisphenol A

April 15, 2008: 12:00 AM EST
Following Canada's move to declare bisphenol A (BPA) as “dangerous”, Wal-Mart says it will stop selling baby bottles made with the controversial chemical in its US stores early next year. The synthetic chemical is widely used in industry and is found in many everyday products including food cans, plastic water containers and baby bottles. A study in the US found that 95 percent of people tested had been exposed to BPA. Studies have linked low-dose BPA exposure to permanent changes to the genital tract; increased prostate weight; decline in testosterone; breast cells predisposed to cancer; prostate cells more sensitive to hormones and cancer; and hyperactivity.
