Washington state in the United States is considering legislation to regulate bisphenol A.

  • 2009-03-01

Washington state is considering legislation to ban the manufacture, sale, and distribution of water bottles, children's water bottles, cups, and other containers containing bisphenol A (BPA), effective July 1, 2010. If passed, the ban would cover:

  • Water bottles, cups and other containers containing bisphenol A, provided that such containers (1) are designed or intended for use by children aged 3 years or younger to hold liquids, food or beverages; and (2) are not containing any liquids, food or beverages when sold or distributed.
  • The container of a liquid, food or beverage in a can, bottle or other container contains 5 parts per 10 billion of bisphenol A, and the liquid, food or beverage is designed or intended primarily for consumption by children aged 3 years or younger
  • Sports water bottle.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is used to manufacture epoxy resins and polycarbonate plastics, and is a major component of hard polycarbonate plastics. Polycarbonate plastics are used in a variety of food and beverage packaging products, while epoxy resins are commonly used as a clear coating for metal products. BPA is also used in many children's products, such as toys, pacifiers, bottles, and teethers; however, given increasing public concern, many manufacturers have voluntarily phased out the use of BPA in their products.

Several U.S. states and cities have attempted to ban the use of bisphenol A (BPA) in children's products, but these efforts have failed, including San Francisco and California.

The Consumer Product Safety Enhancement Act prohibits the use of certain phthalates, but does not restrict bisphenol A (BPA). At the federal level, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reviewing data on all products regulated by the agency, including those known to contain BPA. It is anticipated that the Obama administration will address the BPA issue more aggressively, and future federal regulations on this chemical may become even stricter.
