Wal-Mart to pull polycarbonate baby bottles

Wal-Mart will stop selling polycarbonate baby bottles in its U.S. stores early 2009, according to a spokesman for the store, as reported in the Washington Post. Wal-Mart has immediately halted sales of the baby bottles, sippy cups, pacifiers and other food gear made with BPA in Canada, as the Canadian government has moved to ban the chemical. Wal-Mart has always sold BPA-free baby bottles, but now it is going to convert all of its offerings.

In response to all of the media reports concerning polycarbonate baby bottles and bisphenol-A, a hormone mimicker, The American Chemistry Council, an industry group, said last week that these reports are "unnecessarily confusing and frightening to the public," noting that the FDA recognizes polycarbonate and plastics made with BPA as safe.

There are already many BPA-free options on the market, including glass bottles from Even-Flo and Born-Free plastic bottles. Gerber also makes many BPA-free plastic baby bottles, including their Fashion Tints line, which is very reasonably priced compared to some of the other BPA-free marketed bottles. For example, the three-pack shown to the left sells for $3.95 on Amazon.
