Monika's Marketplace Announces Microwave Lid Is Certified To Be BPA Free

Sanford, Florida based Monika's Marketplace had recently launched a microwave lid onto the Amazon marketplace. Due to the dangers and concerns over BPA, the company announced that their product has been certified to be BPA free.

"We have had our microwave cover tested in the lab and it has been certified to be free from BPA," says a representative for the company. "We understand the concerns over using BPA-containing products and particularly using those products with heat, which is why our lid is made completely free from this dangerous chemical."

BPA or bisphenol A is an industrial chemical that since the 1960s has been used in the making of certain types of plastic and resin products. Research done by the FDA has shown that this chemical can leach into food or drinks from containers that are made with it. Exposure to the chemical is a cause for concern due to potential health effects to the brain as well as the prostate gland and overall behavior in children, infants, and fetuses. The FDA strongly urges against using BPA products, particularly when heating the plastic.

"Because heat can break down the plastics and allow BPA to leach into foods, you should never put these products in the microwave or dishwasher," states the representative for Monika's Marketplace. "We believe ours to be the best microwave cooking cover because it contains absolutely no BPA, so it's safe for the microwave oven and you can clean it in the dishwasher with no worries of harming the plastic."

The company states that their microwave cover fits most standard dinner plates and features a vented steam release to keep food warm. Since its release, the product has gained a massive number of positive reviews from customers, some citing the reason for their praise being that there are no harmful chemicals used in the manufacture of the lid.

Those interested can learn more about BPA and its potentially dangerous effects on overall health by visiting the FDA's official website. More on the microwave lid offered by Monika's Marketplace including customer reviews and pricing, can be seen on the company's Amazon seller's page.
