US state Oregon has introduced legislation, called the Safer Alternatives bill, which will ban Bisphenol A (BPA) from every day household goods. ”This year, we will bring back a BPA-Free Baby bill in Oregon to make sure our most vulnerable citizens aren't put in harm’s way because of the baby bottle or sippy cup they use,” said Renee Hackenmiller-Paradis, of the Oregon Environmental Council. Backers of the plan also say they will call on Congress to overhaul the outdated 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act.
