About the Company
The full story of the short-lived British BPA-free bottle company Baby B Free, and its legal run-ins with the Handi-Craft Company (maker of Dr. Brown's Natural Flow bottles) are beyond the scope of this report, but in October 2007 a British judge found that Baby B Free had undertaken a "deliberately illegal and dishonest course of commercial conduct... intended to hijack the considerable goodwill which had by then been built up in England around the Dr Brown's bottles to launch what was to become the B FREE bottles." To make a long story short, Baby B Free has liquidated key assets to Florida-based Born Free, and no longer exists.
BFree bottles, the first line we know of in the world to be sold with an explicit reference to their lack of Bisphenol-A, are still being sold online in Germany, New Zealand, Singapore, Romania, and numerous other countries throughout the world, none of which appear to have been immediately impacted by this judgment. The future of this bottle line appears uncertain, and given the judgment of false advertising and unethical business practices engaged in by the company's principals, we recommend doing business elsewhere.
