Feeding bottles or similar products indicated for use by the manufacturer to deliver a medicine or a controlled quantity of milk for babies needing a strict control of intake for medical reasons, are subject to the Medical Devices Regulations which implement the EC Medical Devices Directive into United Kingdom law. The directive which governs the safety and performance of medical devices being placed on the market in the European Union requires that the manufacturer assess and demonstrate that any risks are outweighed by the medical benefits.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency is the competent authority for medical devices in the UK. It is aware of the World Health Organisation report on endocrine disrupting chemicals, including Bisphenol A (BPA) as well as other past reviews on the use of BPA in medical devices which have determined that the benefits they offer outweigh any risks. In addition the European Commission has already asked the European Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks to look at the use of BPA in medical devices. Their report is awaited and will indicate if more specific controls should be considered for European medical devices legislation.
