BPA — bisphenol A — a known toxin, has already been removed from baby bottles and sippy cups. Now Maine policymakers need to support the removal of BPA from the linings of cans and baby food jar lids, as well as all food containers.

Let’s get rid of the further risk of cancer, obesity and even learning disabilities linked to BPA. The health of our children and citizens is at stake.
