I am now left wondering if those could be leaching BPA into our drinking water. Do you know how I would find out if the Brita water pitchers we use to filter our water are safe?

I can't seem to find any information out there. I am wondering if anyone has heard of any toothbrushes that are BPA/PVC free. I can’t seem to find any information out there.

Thank you for your amazing research. It is unbelievable the amount of harmfully products that are made for children. Between BPA, PVC, phthalates, lead, mercury, pesticides, growth hormones, etc., we really need to continue to educate ourselves and demand safer and healther products!

The fox is guarding the hen house in either case, and I don't trust the fox. It reminds me of the HFCS folks advertising the safety of their product.

It seems like more and more people are waking up but those that don't are harming the next generation by sticking their heads in the sand. It's very sad.

You know how many women I have talked to that that don't believe it? Enough to make me sick. Talk about bowing down to the government and taking it up the... ya know.

I have a french press and have started to use that instead. It's scary how much coffee we all drink from these plastic machines!

Scientists here could not claim it to be safe, and it was pulled fast, like over night in stores. It can be done, if there is enough public will. Chemical companies can also make new compounds that are not harmful. Not all chemicals are harmful. BPA has been banned in Canada for use in baby and child cups since last year.

That might be an option if anyone out there is getting down to the nitty gritty with clearing out the BPA but can't afford a VitaMix. :) I broke my plastic blender pitcher this year and was pleased to find a glass replacement at a local appliance repair shop for around $8.
