Woman Sues Maker of Nalgene Sports Bottles

April 25th, 2008

"BPA Linked to Infertitility, Cancer, Early Puberty"

A California woman has filed lawsuit against the maker of popular Nalgene plastic sports bottles, claiming that the toxic substance used in the manufacture of the product —

Bisphenol A (BPA) — could sicken consumers.

Harmful Health Effects

The lawsuit is believed to be the first of its kind to seek class action status and is suing for unspecified damages. It alleges that Nalge Nunc International Corp. continued to stress the safety of BPA-containing products despite studies linking the substance to:

Infertility
Hormone disruptions
Early puberty
Cancer

Phasing Out BPA

Nalge Nunc announced plans to stop manufacturing its Outdoor BPA-containing products within the coming months. The move comes after government officials expressed concern over the safety of BPA last week.

Canada recently banned baby bottles containing the chemical, and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said it would phase BPA-containing bottles and other products from its U.S. stores next year.
