Playtex, Gerber, Evenflo, Avent, Dr. Brown's, and The First Years all agreed yesterday to comply with widespread requests from lawmakers and bans by baby stores and stop selling BPA-containing baby bottles in the U.S. Many of these bottles will still be available in the U.S. for months, however, so no one should assume that all bottles are now safe! These products may linger in the supply chain for half a year or more before they are actually "discontinued" in the real world of brick-and-mortar store shelves and Amazon listings.
By our reckoning, the companies should be discontinuing the following products:
Avent: Original Airflex, Tempo
Dr. Brown's: Standard PC bottle
Evenflo: Classic Bottle (non-BPA-free version), Elan
The First Years: Breastflow (non-BPA-free version), Soothie
Gerber: ComfortHold, Preemie
Playtex: Drop-Ins Premium Nurser, Insulator, Kinder-Grip (non-BPA-free version), Ventaire lines (non-BPA-free version)
By the same logic, we're looking for some of these companies to make the following products go "poof!" or transition to BPA-free status in the next six months.
Evenflo: SipRite trainer cups
Dr. Brown's: Training Cup
Avent: Freeflow and Nighttime pacifiers

I’m from M’sia.
Great info and can be cautious.
Have been following Safemama and Zrecs website for the BPA free bottles. From their website, I’ve switched to NewBornFree which is one of the top pick.
No doubt its costly due to the shipping and conversion rate but its worth for our baby sake and health :p
