Now that Canada has taken a stand to ban the sale/importation of children’s products containing BPA’s, we can all breathe a sigh of relief.

Or can we?

Do we ever really relax?   And when I say, “we”, I mean “me”.

I’m a freak.  I’m a worry wart. I worry about things that don’t even exist yet.  It’s insane.

So even though all these BPA-containing childrens’ products are banned from Canada, I still look for the “BPA-Free” notice on every plastic product I buy.  And if it’s not there, I ask the staff.  And if they can’t tell me, I don’t buy.

Rewind to Ikea on Sunday.  We were wandering around and I picked up a couple of cute kids bowls. They didn’t say BPA-Free, so I thought I’d ask a rep when we got downstairs.

Unfortunately he couldn’t tell me.  What his information brought up was that it was made of 100% Polypropylene.  I didn’t know this at the time, but that is actually a BPA-free plastic.    And then I found this earlier today.  Hurrah!

Needless to say, we’re heading out shortly for meatballs and a set of bowls and probably a ton of other stuff we don’t need.  Good times.
