While health authorities in the Unites States have already banned the use of these bottles last year, other nations like Australia and Britain are also likely to take similar stand.

European scientists may also launch a campaign to remove the BPA containing bottles from the market shelves.  Likewise many other nations are in the process of forming regulations to limit the BPA exposure to infants and children.

BPA related health risks The chemical is widely used in manufacturing plastics, mainly food and drink containers as well as food tin linings. According to experts, when heated contents are poured in the plastic bottle, about three to seven parts per billion of bisphenol leach into the baby formula, which can significantly risk the babies' health.

The harmful chemical is known to aggravate the risk of breast cancer, sex hormone imbalances and other adverse risks. The chemical has also been found to cause developmental, neural and reproductive damage in previously conducted animal studies.

There also has been a compelling evidence that very low doses of BPA exposure is linked to cancers, impaired immune function, early onset of puberty, obesity, diabetes, and hyperactivity, among other problems.

"Previous studies have shown that if you repeatedly scrub, dish-wash and boil polycarbonate baby bottles, they release BPA. That tells us that BPA can migrate from various polycarbonate plastics," said Belcher, associate professor of pharmacology and cell biophysics at the University of Cincinnati. Experts recommend that parents should start using glass feeding bottles for their babies in order to contain the harmful effects of plastic bottles.
