Are Plastics Baby-Proof?

04/07/2006 12:57 PM

Welcome to a "sneak peek" article from the April edition of the Plastics & Resins Report from GlobalSpec.

With parents worrying over anything that goes into their baby's mouth, a plastic bottle appears to be one safe bet. Reports have cropped up, however, that polycarbonate baby bottles have a potentially hazardous chemical for humans. Plasticsinfo.org attempts to dispel myths and offer truths on the topic of baby bottles.

Better source of info

When your looking to prove or disprove any myth Snopes is the place to do it.They have the whole history and the e-mail that kicked the whole thing off .
I guess that it is natural for people to think that this could happen. If you've ever burned plastic in a campfire and you see the toxic smoke coming out of it; I guess you could just think some equivalent must be happening in the microwave.

I believe this is a hoax, but who regulates the FDA? What if they blow it or rush something through before it's completely detemined to be safe?
