Capitol Watch: "After the second debate this year, the House of Representatives unanimously approved a bill to ban a chemical that is commonly used in plastic containers used by babies and children.
The bill bans products containing bisphenol A, or BPA, which is used to harden plastic, as of October 1, 2011. The products involved are containers of infant formula and baby food, reusable spill-proof cups, plastic sports bottles, and thermoses. The sports bottles sometimes have the names of popular sports teams.
The narrowly written bill focuses mainly on products that would be used by children - as opposed to the broader general public. It focuses on reusable products and not on beverage containers that are designed to be thrown away after a single use, according to the legislation."
