Puzzle, precaution over plastic
From the Boston Globe:
Last week, hard plastic baby and water bottles were not considered harmful.

Now, in the eyes of many users, they are toxic. Yesterday, CVS said it will join Wal-Mart, bottle-maker Nalgene, and other companies in pulling tens of thousands of the shatter-proof, transparent products off store shelves. Some parents are tossing hiking bottles into the trash, feeding their babies with glass containers, and searching for a safer alternative to see-through sippy cups.

So how dangerous are these bottles? And what should consumers do about the risk?

"The truthful answer is that nobody knows" their full health impact yet, said David Ozonoff, a professor of environmental health at the Boston University School of Public Health. "And because we don't know, it's prudent to avoid something that is avoidable."

Funny thing, V figured this out last year. We no longer heat food in plastic or store food in the fridge in plastic. It's all Pyrex for us, baby. I am glad to see companies make decisions to be health conscience instead of the government stepping in.
