BUSINESS BRIEFING / INFANT PRODUCTS
Times Wire Reports
Connecticut’s attorney general announced that six companies had stopped manufacturing baby bottles containing bisphenol-A, a chemical that some studies say may be harmful to infants.
Attorneys general from Connecticut, Delaware and New Jersey sent letters in October to 11 companies asking them to end their use of the chemical.
Avent America Inc., Disney First Years, Gerber, Dr. Brown’s, Playtex Products Inc. and Evenflo Co. are voluntarily complying with the request, Connecticut Atty. Gen. Richard Blumenthal said.
