A leading US polycarbonate baby bottle maker has become the first to settle a lawsuit over failure to tell consumers its products contained bisphenol A (BPA). In this landmark case, Philips Electronics Corporation North America reached the settlement last week as part of a multi-district class action. The settlement found that Philips had an obligation to disclose that it was using BPA in its baby bottles and sippy cups. There are similar pending cases against other companies.
