		<description>Hi Dani,

Thanks for your input on the touchy subject of revealing patented materials.  In my opinion, it&#039;s fine for a company to protect their proprietary ingredient list, so long as they at least answer the basic questions concerning the use of toxic plastic.  We at The Soft Landing would have been happy with a simple yes or no answer when we asked whether their products contained BPA, PVC or phthalates.  That&#039;s the least they could do for parents concerned about their children&#039;s health.  This isn&#039;t a game, but a gamble with unnecessary risks imposed by companies like Fisher Price, who still won&#039;t reveal whether their products contain toxic plastic or not.

		<description>Tupperware is secretive about their materials because so many other plastics companies have tried to mimick their product lines. It more about corporate patent busting and way less about any sort of BPA cover-up. There are no Tupperware brand products sold in the US that contain BPA. However, in previous years, the baby bottles that Tupperware sold, did contain BPA. They are no longer sold here and have not been for quite sometime. There are only a few lines from Tupperware that contain BPA and they are listed on www.tupperware.com</description>

		<description>I see that you guys are discussing the potentially toxic chemicals found in plastics. The Pitch newspaper out of Kansas City recently did a story on MU scientists doing research on this and the chemical companies attempts to shut them up. Check it out at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pitch.com/2008-04-24/news/ever-since-university-of-missouri-biologist-frederick-vom-saal-and-his-team-learned-the-dangers-of-bisphenol-a-and-plastic-the-chemical-industry-has-been-trying-to-discredit-them/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Pitch&lt;/a&gt;</description>
