A study found bisphenol A (BPA), a known endocrine disruptor, in 77% of sippy cup samples tested in Delhi. BPA was detected in concentrations as high as 14.9 ppm and can interfere with hormone functions and impact growth in babies. While BPA is now prohibited in baby bottles, there are no regulations on its use in sippy cups.

You could be exposing your babies to toxic chemicals that could interfere with their
hormonal system and impact growth. A study by Toxics Link, an environmental NGO, claims
to have found Bisphenol A (BPA) in 77% of sippy cup samples tested in Delhi.Bisphenol A is
a known endocrine disruptor and is used in the manufacture of plastic products used by
children. It has also been linked with early puberty of the girl child.
Samples of sippy cups collected from different markets in Delhi were sent for testing at
Shriram Institute for Industrial Research. The study claims that 10 out of 13 samples tested
had BPA in it.
“In one of the samples, BPA concentration was found to be as high as 14.9 ppm.
Surprisingly , some of the products labelled as BPAfree were also detected with significant
amounts of the chemical,“ said Piyush Mohapatra, senior programme coordinator at Toxics
Link. Besides disrupting the functioning of hormones in babies, health experts have found
that BPA also negatively impacts the behavioural and emotional aspects of girls up to three
years of age.It can even lead to depression and anxiety in boys.

General epidemiological studies have found that it can cause heart diseases
and lead to liver toxicity and diabetes.
“There is a need for a comprehensive policy and standards on use of such
chemicals in products. Manufacturers also need to act responsibly when they
place goods on their shelves and must ensure proper labelling to correctly
inform consumers,“ said Ravi Agarwal, director, Toxics Link.
In 2014, the NGO conducted a similar study and found high content of BPA in
baby feeding bottles. While the chemical's use has now been prohibited for
baby feeding bottles, there is no regulation on use of the chemical in sippy
cups.
Associate director at Toxics Link, Satish Sinha said, “There is an immediate
need to cover sippy cups under the Feeding Bottles and Infant Foods
(Regulation of Production, Supply and Distribution) Act, 1992.“
