Nalgene Pulling Water Bottles with BPA AFTER Canada Bans BPA in Baby Products

When it comes to plastic bottles, you won't be finding these numbers on products sold in Canada --that's because  these numbers indicate the product has BPA. Last week, the Canadian government  banned all products containing BPA --a chemical widely used baby bottles and the beloved Nalgene water bottle.

The move in Canada adds pressure on U.S. federal regulators to reexamine their position on BPA, which is suspected of causing breast and prostrate cancer, diabetes, hyperactivity and other serious disorders in laboratory animals. This week, a federal health panel in the United States for the first time expressed concerns about BPA.

Although the U.S. government isn't even close to banning BPA--companies are taking a proactive stand and voluntarily recalling these products.
