BPA bottles now banned

KUALA LUMPUR: The ban on import, manufacture, advertisement and sale of feeding bottles containing the organic compound Bisphenol A or BPA takes effect today, said Health Director-General Datuk Seri Dr Hasan Abdul Rahman.

He said the ban was imposed as a precautionary measure because until now there was no scientific proof that the polycarbonate feeding bottle containing the BPA was safe for use by infants and children.
