BABY BOTTLE STANDARD
Consideration Next Year (N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON. June 9. A. request by the Department of Health for a standard specification for babies' plastic feeding bottles Jias been deferred for a year by the plastics committee of the Standards Institute. The department was seeking to guard against the use of unsuitable plastic for the purpose. The suitability of plastic feeding bottles on sale in New Zealand had been raised. The department understood that with some plastics, there Was a problem of cleansing and sterilisation and that only certain plastics could be regarded as suitable for the feeding bottles.
Members of the committee said the bottles in use were, on present knowledge, satisfactory, despite the possible disadvantages of certain plastics. However, with more plastics bfeing made available, the committee decided to consider the project in a year’s time, when much more research would have been carried out into the cleansing and sterilisation of plastic materials.
