A Victory for Child Safety

For now, Miller and Weinberg's efforts have led to legislation in New York. Last week Gov. David A. Paterson signed the BPA-Free Children and Babies Act into law, banning the sale of children's products laced with the compound. That makes NY one of 9 states to bar sales of any product that contains BPA and is aimed at children. That's good news for parents and others who care for children. But it still means you have to check to be sure the products you or your child care provider use are BPA-free.
