Companies manufacturing baby containers and bottles have been issued letters by the attorneys of Connecticut, New Jersey and Delaware. The letters state about a ban on the use of Bisphenol A as it is toxic for babies.

The FDA guidelines do not state BPA as harmful for infants. But it has received severe criticism for its decision from the Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal.
"Unfortunately the federal agency, the Federal Food and Drug Administration, has been asleep at the switch, in fact resistant to respecting the scientific evidence that grave harm can result in use of this product," Blumenthal said. He also remarked "Unfortunately the FDA has refused to do anything about it," Blumenthal added on Monday. "We're asking the 11 manufacturers to do so voluntarily." He said there should be no hassles for manufacturers if they discard BPA as substitute solutions were available.
    
Scientists, however, confirm about the chemical’s effects on adults who have become prone to heart diseases and diabetes. The findings were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Some U.S. stores, such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Toys "R" Us, are already discarding out products that contain BPA.  

Experiments on animal indicate that BPA can cause breast, prostate and reproductive system abnormalities and some cancers. However, there is no confirmation that it can pose health risks for humans as well.

The FDA's advice for consumers who want to reduce exposure includes avoiding plastic containers imprinted with the recycling number '7,' as many of those contain BPA, and avoid warming food in such containers.
