Makers of plastic baby bottles sued

The complaint filed last week in U.S. District Court alleges the companies knew that bisphenol A was associated with health problems but didn’t disclose the risk.
It cites scientific studies concluding that BPA, as the chemical is also known, seeps from bottles and sippy-cups into liquid.
