BCUK’s No More BPA campaign gains momentum
Our No More BPA campaigner has been busy liaising with the Independent on an expose about the BPA in baby bottles controversy and this week the resulting major article by Martin Hickman made front page headlines in Wednesday’s paper.
We are very excited about the way this has been picked up by other newspapers and online and by the feedback from the general public in the comments sections associated with the various articles.
Thank you to those people who have already taken the opportunity to sign up as supporters and/or emailed our form letter to their MP.
