So are you safe? Tuesday, 1 January 2013  The polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins derived from BPA are lightweight and their usage is prevalent in many everyday objects .
Epoxy resins from BPA are used to form a protective coating in the inner
layer of metal can and bottle containers. These coatings help protect contents
from spoilage while extending their shelf life.
However, consumer products such as polycarbonate tableware, food storage containers, water bottles, and baby bottles are in danger of BPA leaching. The degree to which BPA leaches from polycarbonate bottles into liquid may depend more on the temperature of the liquid or bottle, than the age of the container. Protect yourself! You can tell if the plastic is made of BPA by looking for the No. 7 recycling symbol on the bottom:
