Under the new law, plastic containers made with BPA that are designed to hold food or beverages for children under three years old such as sippy cups and baby bottles may not be manufactured, sold, or distributed in Washington. A House amendment was added to the bill to include plastic sports bottles. It is scheduled to take effect July 1, 2011, and will also include sports bottles as of July 1,"
BPA is still legal in food packaging such as the BPA linings used for canned foods and beverages, including baby formula, baby food jar lids and home canning lids.
