Bisphenol A (BPA) has been in the news a lot in recent months and you may be wondering exactly what it is. This chemical is widely used in the manufacturing of plastics; in fact, you probably come into contact with it everyday via plastic food containers, drinking cups and wraps. There is concern that BPA is linked to various health problems and although some research shows it only leaches under extreme heat, the long term effects of general exposure are unknown. Since this chemical is extensively used in baby bottles, sippy cups and a multitude of other infant plastics, many parents are now seeking products that are BPA Free (particularly for anything related to baby feeding). We only stock BPA Free breast pumps, bottles and breast milk storage systems: click here to view our BPA Free section.
