Hello all,
As the father of an infant son and an avid user of plastic bottles, the news from Canada and the US concerning the safety of certain plastic containers for children (and adults) made me investigate what types of bottles are safe.
A quote from the Today Show:
Is that statement accurate? His credentials seem adequate to make him more knowledgeable of medicine than myself (I am merely a physicist), but this makes me wonder. I have been unable to find any independent evidence (ie. not coming from a plasitics company) to deny this claim or to support it.
So, has anyone looked into this closely? I have only done a cursory internet search and I didn't find anything that was satisfactory. Does anyone have more authoritative information or really any information? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan

A quote from the Today Show:
"The bottles with the numbers 3, 6 and 7 are not safe for use across the board," said Dr. Leo Trasande of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
