NY: Suffolk County Bans BPA
In the first law of its kind in the States, the Suffolk County Legislature voted Tuesday to ban polycarbonate baby bottles. BPA would have to be removed from sippys and bottles intended for children under 3, or those products would have to be removed from store shelves.
Says bill sponsor Legis. Steve Stern,
There are plenty of viable, cost-effective and safe alternatives.
The county now says they’re evaluating the impact of the law pending an upcoming public hearing.
