So, the parents are suing because…. bisphenol-A sparked Congressional hearings? I’m failing to see what the grounds for this suit ‘seeking class action status’ is. I’m glad research has been done and the bottles are being pulled & discontinued as a *precautionary measure*, but if there’s no actual harm done, how can there be a suit?
“…[“some concern”] about BPA from experiments on rats that linked the chemical to changes in behavior and the brain, early puberty and possibly precancerous changes in the prostate and breast. While such animal studies [only provide “limited evidence” of risk,] the draft report said a [possible effect] on humans “cannot be dismissed.”…
So all you men out there with a prostrate problem, men and women with breast cancer, ADD ADHD Bi Polar Disorder, Autism learning diabilities, while we’re at it, lets put the criminals, deviates, sex offenders (since we can’t be sure their actions weren’t some manifestation of the effects of this chemical on their brain) and anyone else on the list and blame it on the baby bottles that our parents used while we were growing up
From the sounds of it, we can all jump on the band wagon and put the entire world on notice that we’re going to sue the pants off of everyone for everything and put them out of business
Okay.. the stuff was acceptable and approved for use until they developed the technology to test it to the enth degree for potential problems – So make it illegal to use after a certain date – move on – and if someone puts the crap in a product now that they know it is a banned substance – then sue them.
I’d hate to be a lab rat – fed 10,000,000 times the does that a normal human being is exposed to a substance and not be expected to develop “problems” –
Asbestos was the “wonder product” of the age – the magic mineral that could be used for so many things – until someone figured out there were health risks – Same with lead – Look where that’s taken us…
Whats the saying &$@#*( happens… Who knew? It’s called life – you go thru it, things happen, you get over it, you move on…
I am just as confused Matt, the way I see it is that once there is x amount of suits to be filed then the class actions will continue in large numbers. I too agree that it is a good thing to see that people are being proactive about the situation and removing the tainted products from the shelves. There is no harm done now… but once people get educated on “what could have happened” then they will sue for that kind of distress… just something else for bored people to do… I too am confused on that issue…
This is just another gravy train for the lawyers to jump on.
I think adults who were bottle fed should sue their mothers for not breast-feeding them, thereby exposing them to something that in the future might cause them harm.

I have CRS. What’s that worth?

Its the answer for everything – The article lists

Good grief – when is this going to end?

My new bottles make the milk taste funny. I want the old ones back.
I’m wondering why it would take retailers until next year to take it off the shelves. I think they mean selling them off the shelves.
This may also explain why my 2 year old is shaving.
lastbat, I didnt know your wife was still lactating.

I’m going to sue my wife for not breast feeding me because that plastic jug probably isn’t good either.
Boy, what a cynical group! However, I don’t agree with the lawsuit either.
