Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association Supports Safety of Baby Bottles
Date:4/17/2008

MT. LAUREL, N.J., April 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA), which represents the leading manufacturers of baby bottles in the United States, stands by the scientific research indicating that plastic baby bottles are safe.

"The findings in NTP's draft report provide reassurance that consumers can continue to use products made from BPA," said Robert Waller, Jr., CAE, president of JPMA. "Sound and respected scientific research has consistently shown there is no danger to consumers when products are used as intended."

There is significant data available on the safety of BPA. From baby bottles and food packaging, to bicycle helmets and eyeglass lenses, as well as incubators and components of many life-saving medical devices, polycarbonate plastic makes everyday lives better and safer.

JPMA encourages parents to contact the bottle manufacturer if they have a question or concern. Most of the manufacturers have toll-free numbers and many have information posted on their Web sites.

JPMA is committed to educating the juvenile product industry and the public about the safety of polycarbonate baby bottles. To that end, JPMA has e
