The U.S. Federal Drug Administration has adopted New York legislator Steve Stern’s groundbreaking legislation that bans the sale of infant and toddler drinking items that contain harmful, synthetic estrogen Bisphenol-A (BPA). NFN President and ANA board member Barbara Crane, RN, testified at the hearing and made a compelling statement on behalf of the federation and association regarding “the power of the pen to sign a bill that would safeguard the health of our children for years to come.” The nationwide Toxin-Free Toddlers and Babies Act marks a first step in getting toxins removed from baby bottles and sippy cups across the United States.
