What is bisphenol-A or BPA?
Bisphenol-A or BPA is a chemical that, among other things, is one of the starting materials for polycarbonate, a plastic material which is clear, very strong, heat-resistant and extraordinarily impact resistant. As such, it is used in many items, including baby bottles and other baby feeding products. However, as of January 1, 2009, all bottles and baby feeding products sold in “R”Us® stores and online are BPA-free.
