BPA Free is Right!

My friend Tammy informed me of the recent recall of numerous baby bottles which were made with Bisphenol A or BPA. You can read an article on it here (sorry, I have no idea how to hyperlink at this time!) http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/04/18/ST2008041803545.html I had no clue about this when she told me. In my defense, Addy was no longer using bottles, I was working full-time and rarely had time to watch the news or read recall notices in my email. My dear friend on the other hand just had a baby (at the time) and kept up on many current baby headlines. At least this was my defense! She also told me that she heard Babies R Us was allowing consumers to bring in bottles containing BPA (no original packaging or receipt required) in exchange for the BPA free bottles. We wondered if this was true and we soon found out! While buying other baby necessities at Babies R Us a couple of days ago, I happened to ask the checkout clerk about this rumor. She said they would indeed take my old bottles and exchange them for the BPA free bottles with no receipt, however, they were changing their exchange policy in 2 days and this would no longer be the case. You can imagine my excitement! I immediately assembled and bagged all Addy's old bottles when we arrived home that evening. The next day Addy and I returned the old bottles with no receipt and got $50 worth of new bottles for free! I'm so proud of our FREE bottles!
