Eliminate BPA from Food & Beverage Containers!

Send an email to your congressional delegation

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a synthetic sex hormone used in common household materials, including water bottles, food cans, and re-useable food containers.  Numerous studies have found BPA to be linked to heart disease, cancer, neurological impairments and reproductive failure.  Testing shows that children have the highest levels of BPA in their bodies.

Safety concerns about BPA have motivated retailers to pull thousands of baby bottles made from BPA off their shelves and compelled water bottle makers, like Nalgene, to eliminate BPA from its product.  Sunoco, a BPA manufacturer, now requires its customers to guarantee that BPA will not be used in food or water containers for children under age 3.

It's time for Congress to take stand to protect our health.  Bills to eliminate BPA from food and water containers have been introduced in the House of Representatives and the Senate but they won't pass without more support.
