		<description>I know that phthalates are also widely used in medical supplies such as feeding and IV bags, plastic tubing, etc.  My son was three months premature and has received most of his sustenance for nearly five years through a feeding tube.  Have any studies been conducted on cases similar to his?  Are the proposed bans going to cover medical supplies?</description>
