Minnesota’s St. Cloud Times reports parents are buying more and more items labeled “bisphenol A-free” and “phthalate-free” in an effort to provide the “safest possible environment for their babies.” Bisphenol A is used to make plastics strong and shatter-resistant, and is found in water bottles, food containers, baby bottles, some dental fillings and the coatings for the inside of cans containing foods.
