'Pacifiers can release bisphenol A, a chemical linked to hormone disruption and developmental problems, with the highest levels found in one marketed as "BPA-free," a new study shows. The research, published Jan. 24 in Environmental Science and Pollution Research, raises questions about hidden chemical exposure during infancy and how baby products are regulated and labeled. It is among the first to quantify how much BPA can leach from pacifiers and estimate how much infants and toddlers, whose bodies and hormone systems are still developing, may absorb during everyday use.'
