Chicago has become the first US city to ban the use of Bisphenol A in products made for children under three years of age, including sippy cups and bottles. As summer months approach, BPA poses more of a danger as it tends to leach into bottles when the plastic containing it is heated. Foods should never be microwaved in plastic containers as this produces the same result.

Minnesota has also banned the use of BPA in products for children.
