Z Report: BPA: MAM

About the Company

Viennese company MAM Babyartikel produces bottles, pacifiers, and children's tableware. Some of its products are currently distributed in the U.S. by Sassy.

MAM maintains a position firmly in favor of polycarbonate plastics in some of its products, but labels those without them as being free of bisphenol-A on its website. The company is most concerned about the use of alternative plastics in pacifier shields, and has an unusual policy on nitrosamines (the proteins in latex and natural rubber, as well as cured meats, that can cause health problems or lead to latex allergies in children): While some companies ignore the issue of nitrosamines and others test materials to ensure they can offer "nitrosamine-free" products, MAM promises to limit nitrosamines to low levels and test for the quantity that leaches from products within 48 hours.
