Sad...

My Nan (grandma) passed away, so I'm heading to Newfoundland for a week.

Return your BPA bottles for a refund at Zellers!

Hi everyone! We're all alive here, and we weren't carried away by the flood! Things have just been very busy here lately! I'll post an update soon, but in the meantime, I just wanted to pass along a tidbit of information.

A friend called this morning to tell me that Zellers stores are giving refunds for any product which they've pulled off their shelves due to BPA (Bisphenol A) concerns. I called the store, and as far as I can tell, products do not have to be in their original packaging, nor do you need to have a receipt. They will give you a gift card with your refund on it. This is only until Friday though!

I'm going to bring back our Avent bottles and a few other things this afternoon, so I'll let you know how it goes!

For a comprehensive list of which products have BPA in them, check out the Z Recommends BPA Report.


*Update*
I didn't have any trouble returning my Avent bottles, and I received a $95 gift card in return! I kept the nipples and sealing caps though, because they fit on the Klean Kanteen sippy cups (which use Avent sippy cup spouts). Also, I figure that Avent will probably make bottles without BPA that can use the same nipples, so that may save me some money when we have another baby.
