Tired of wondering how much toxic BPA you ate for dinner? Frustrated that the federal government has failed to take the most basic step of phasing out this hazardous, unnecessary substance from food and beverage containers?

Please join parents, health professionals, legislators, and concerned citizens from around the state as we stand up in support of Connecticut’s House Bill 6572 to phase out BPA from products that come in contact with our food. This is your chance to stand with a 35’ giant baby bottle, swap your toxic baby bottle for a complimentary BPA-free bottle, and talk with your legislators along with other members of the Coalition for a Safe & Healthy Connecticut. Bring a child, bring a sign, bring a friend, or just bring yourself!
