    i just checked all mine and i dont have any numbers on them. I got all mine last year in April. Maybe something to do with when they were manufactured?

    Melissa - you may be onto something there - I brought mine last year too - probably between January and... uh.. maybe april or May? Before we switched to Pigeon anyway..

    mmmmmm. I use avent bottles and i bought mine in 2006 for first daughter and none of mine have any numbers on the bottom???? I have bought more new ones in 2007 as well for dd #2 and those have no numbers either. I am confused..... I think i will await for some scientific research before buying any new ones, it could be some scam or something so everyone spends more money????? Who no's

    I just looked up on the internet about it and this is what it says in brief:

    "Bottles labelled with a 7 contain hormone disrupting bisephonal A or BPA," said UOIT professor of ecotoxicology, Dr. Douglas Holdway.
    The ban would affect only baby bottles and not other food containers made with bisphenol A (BPA).

    I am wondering though if Australian standards allow our baby bottles to have this in them? It seems to be canada and over that way.

    I'm going to look at my Avent bottles box now. Will post again if i find anything on it!
