Study Finds Some Popular Baby Bottles to Be Dangerous

If you use these brands of bottles - Dr. Brown’s, Evenflo, Gerber, Playtex - you may want to read this article on CNN.

The baby bottle industry is saying that the chemicals found by independent experts convened by the National Institutes of Health are harmless. The experts say otherwise.

~~I’m glad that we use Avent Bottles right now. It may be a case of he said, she said, but when it comes to things like this I think you should err on the side of caution.~~

Update - Looks like Avent bottles are in there too, just not listed in the subhead of the article.

I looked at this article because we use Avent Bottles to and the articles says: “the laboratory tests on bottles from all five brands - Avent, Dr. Brown’s, Evenflo, Gerber and Playtex (Charts) - were found to leach bisphenol A at amounts known to harm animals in laboratory animal studies.”

So, unless I’m missing something, they’re saying the Avent bottles have the problem as well. It’s just not part of the sub-headline of the article.

Maybe I’m reading it wrong though.

Nope. You’re very, very right. I missed it because it wasn’t in the subhead of the article. Now, I am worried. Good catch.
