EU proposes to ban BPA in Baby Bottles!
We were delighted to see in the news today that the EU has announced a ban on the use of the harmful chemical Bisphenol-A in baby bottles as of next year!
Dirk Voller, Managing Director of BornFree UK has stated:
‘We are absolutely delighted with the proposed EU ruling to ban BPA in all baby bottles. From the start we have always been committed to producing baby feeding products that offer the safe and smart choice for both parent and baby. All our products are and have always been 100% free from Phthalates, PVC and Bisphenol-A (BPA).
Many companies now produce BPA free bottles but we are proud to have been the original pioneers of manufacturing chemical free baby feeding products. We consistently strive to produce a range that offer the best quality feeding products on the market. Parents across the continents have told us how much they – and their children – like and value our extensive range.”
