phillips mother and baby items – not bpa free

Over the past year ive purchased a few things from Phillips that are mainly bottles, which are not bpa free. I didn’t know about this at the time of purchase and the items are still sealed – I can’t find the receipt for the item, and didn’t buy on credit card. I contacted Phillips on 0800 289 064 to ask for replacements, which they stated they don’t offer, and hung up on me. Is there any way I can exchange these for bpa free ones?

    I don't see how there is. If you feel it's an issue, buy some new ones?

    I don't really know what it is, but that is what wiki says!

    European Union

    The updated 2008 European Union Risk Assessment Report on bisphenol A, published in June 2008 by the European Commission concluded that bisphenol A-based products, such as polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins, are safe for consumers and the environment when used as intended.[82]
    On 24 October 2008, European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) issued a statement following the Lang Study concluding that the study provided no grounds to revise the current TDI (Tolerable Daily Intake) level for BPA of 0,05 mg/kg bodyweight.[83]
