The “Montreal Gazette” reports a local man is seeking permission to launch a class-action suit against Gaiam Inc. of Louisville, Colo., a manufacturer of reusable aluminum water bottles, alleging that the company made false claims they were free of the chemical bisphenol A (BPA). The motion, filed in Quebec Superior Court this week by Jeffrey Rosen, noted that in October 2008 the federal government concluded BPA is toxic and proposed a ban on the import, sale and advertising of baby bottles made with BPA and set limits on its presence in canned baby food.
