Governor Jerry Brown has landmark legislation heading to his desk that would ban the toxic chemical bisphenol-A (BPA) in baby bottles and sippy cups. [1] We need your help to make sure it gets signed into law.

Help us keep California kids safe!

*Tell Governor Jerry Brown to sign the Toxin-Free Infants and Toddlers Act.

With 2 billion pounds of BPA produced annually in the US, it's no wonder that 93% of Americans have detectable levels of BPA in their bodies. BPA isn’t just in our bodies; it’s in our babies, who have BPA levels that are 11 times higher than adults.[2] Hundreds of studies have linked BPA to serious health problems, including cancer, heart disease, obesity, and a number of reproductive problems.[3]

Now is our chance to take some BPA off the market and protect our kids. The Toxin-Free Infants and Toddlers Act is only one signature away from becoming law.

Help get it signed into law now: http://action.momsrising.org/letter/2011-CA-BPA-Governor/

We already know there are plenty of safer alternatives to using BPA in containers. In fact, Minnesota, Connecticut, Washington, and Maryland have already successfully banned BPA from baby bottles and/or sippy cups, along with several other cities and counties. [4] It's clear that alternatives to BPA exist, and it’s about time we got this dangerous chemical out of items are kids touch every day.

Tell Governor Brown to protect his littlest constituents and sign the Toxin-Free Infants and Toddlers Act: http://action.momsrising.org/letter/2011-CA-BPA-Governor/

Together, we can help make this a safer, healthier state for California families.
