Yes the State of Massachusetts issued a formal warning on August 3rd to avoid plastic feeding and sipping bottles and cups with BPA:

"Massachusetts public health officials warned parents of young children yesterday to avoid storing infant formula or breast milk in plastic bottles containing bisphenol A - and urged pregnant or breast-feeding women to avoid the common chemical in other food and drink containers.

The warning comes after an exhaustive yearlong review of the controversial chemical found in products ranging from baby bottles to the linings of canned food. Studies in laboratory animals suggest BPA might increase the risk of developmental problems in some fetuses and young children.

Children and adults can ingest tiny amounts of the chemical when they drink from cups or eat from containers made with BPA."

Keep your youngest children (nieces, nephews and grandchildren) safe with this non-toxic Kleen Kanteen stainless steel sippy bottle. For infants, sippy bottle would probably need parent to hold it.

The 27 oz. and 18 oz. Klean Kanteen water and other liquid bottles have been so popular with BuzzFlash readers that we decided to offer the 12oz Kid Kanteen Brushed Stainless Sippy for young children (and infants with parental help to hold it until the child's grasp widens).

Every new parent wants to make sure their baby's environment is as healthy as possible. Klean Kanteen can help with that.

Klean Kanteen designed a special adapter that works with Avent's patented sippy cup spout. It's all BPA-free polypropylene and integrates seamlessly with the 12oz Klean Kanteen Classic bottle.

The bottle is BPA- and toxin-free, food grade stainless steel so it doesn't need to be lined like some other metal water bottles. Plus your Klean Kanteen will never leach chemicals, toxins, or funky flavors into your child's water or juice.

It's designed for small hands, making it easy to hold. And the large-mouth makes cleaning as simple as a quick scrub with soap and water or a trip through the dishwasher.

You can also buy a 27 ounce version of the bottle by clicking here to buy it liberally from BuzzFlash.com.

You can also buy an 18 ounce version of the bottle by clicking here to buy it liberally from BuzzFlash.com.

You can also buy a 40 ounce version of the bottle by clicking here to buy it liberally from BuzzFlash.com.

From Klean Kanteen:

"We were the first stainless water bottle created in response to reports connecting certain plastics (polycarbonate) and breast cancer. Over the last five years, we’ve travelled to several hundred consumer and trade shows nationwide educating people about the health hazards of reusing plastic, the environmental disaster of one-time-use plastic containers, and about the easy solutions available to avoid plastic (such as re-using a Klean Kanteen). As you know, awareness has skyrocketed in the last few years as has demand for safe alternatives to plastic.
