AVENT Milk Bottle Recall!!!

Dear Daddy,
Please be infromed that there is a news streading about AVENT Milk Bottle which contains the BPA which is harmful to baby.
BPA is being decirbe as per below: -
This is an additive used in the production of epoxy and polyvinyl carbonate (PVC: the type of plastic to be feared). It’s scientific name comes from it’s base molecules: two of phenol and one acetone (yep, like your favorite nail polish remover). It is in most of the clear hard plastics, so a fairly accurate guideline in guessing whether your favorite plastic has BPA in it is that most opaque or colored plastics are BPA Free, as are the soft plastics like bottle liners.
Why BPA is unsafe?
BPA begins to seep out of plastics and contaminate whatever they hold. It used to be belived that this only happened if the plastic was scratched or heated, but recent reports show that BPA leaks in even the newest plastic.
About 2 years ago, scientific reports began to emerge that linked BPA to problems in the endocrine, reproductive and metabolic systems. These problems included prostate and breast cancer, impaired immune function, early onset of puberty, obesity, fertility issues and diabetes. There are preliminary findings that show that a folic acid supplement can counteract the effects of the chemical, but nothing is proven in that area yet.

For those daddy / mummy who using AVENT, perhaps you may want to swap to another brand then.
