Playtex Infant Care, a division of Energizer Personal Care, the leader in infant care, continues to address growing public confusion about plastics used in baby bottles containing bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical used to manufacture polycarbonate plastic products, by announcing that the balance of the product line will be converted to BPA-free material by year end. In addition, the company will immediately suspend distribution to its Canadian retail partners of all Avance and Cherubs infant feeding bottles and the sip & discover 9 oz Spill-Proof "character" cup.
Playtex currently provides consumers with a BPA-free line of baby bottles with its Playtex Drop-Ins Original Nurser System. To respond to increased consumer demand for BPA-free products, Playtex will distribute one million free samples of the Playtex Drop-Ins Original Nurser System across North America. For information on how to obtain a sample, please visit www.playtexbaby.com/bpafree/info.html.
Playtex currently offers 43 SKUs in Canada of feeding and soothing products that are BPA-free. BPA is used in only a few Playtex products; the company offers a broad selection of BPA-free infant bottles, pacifiers and cups. In bottles, the Playtex Drop-Ins Nurser system uses disposable Playtex Drop-Ins liners that are made of polyethylene and are BPA-free. All Playtex bottle nipples and pacifiers (including OrthoPro(TM)) are BPA-free. In cups, the First Sipster, Sipster, Insulator, Coolster, are all BPA-free.
