Question from Colleen
Is this a problem in other commonly plastic kitchen/bathroom products? I’m looking at our plastic Mr. Coffee maker and electric tea kettle which DH got for me after I burned up 2 on the stove. Thanks

Bisphenol-A is only a problem in products made from polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resin. Clear plastic water bottles and the linings in food cans are the two major exposures. Polycarbonate plastic is found in non-food products such as clear packaging materials, but these are not considered sources of risk because the product is not ingested.
