The Canadian government has decided to ban the use of plastics containing the chemical bisphenol A for baby bottles. In explaining the move, Health Minister Tony Clement said that newborns and infants need a higher safety margin to protect against any possible negative effects of the substance. In addition, the company Nalgene, which makes water bottles out of clear, hard plastic, said it would phase out production of products containing bisphenol A.
