Remember how the FDA said BPA is safe? Well, an advisory panel to the agency thinks maybe not. The panel seems to concur with the idea that FDA analysts relied too heavily on industry-funded studies and excluded other important evidence. Now what? To sum up an FDA statement: More research is already moving forward. Also, don't panic.
The National Institutes of Health has a handy BPA summary here.
Actually, I agree with the not panicking part. Some baby gear stores have been offering free swaps: Bring in your baby bottles and trade them for BPA-free plastic or glass. Good deal!
