Many of our regular customers have been asking about traditional child resistant containers for several weeks now. Well, you ask and we deliver. Lacontainer now features Clarke Container vials which are available in two child resistant styles. The first is a push and turn prescription vial used in most pharmacies and drugstores. This is a proven design in use for many years. If having a container that is child resistant is important to you, then this is the perfect solution. We also now have available Clarke Container green neck vials which are not as common as the push and turn style but just as safe. These green neck vials have a tab that needs to be turned to alignment with a pair of markings on the neck before they can be popped open. Both styles are currently only available in the traditional UV Amber color. Please contact one of our sales advisors if you would like these in a color that is not available on our container shopping site.

BPA-free containers

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

BPA or Bisphenol-A was recently in the news again when Sigg bottle manufacturer stated in a letter to their customers that bottle liners manufactured prior to August 2008 contained trace amounts of BPA, although in-house testing found no leaching or migration of the chemical.

We have received several calls from our customers asking if our containers contained BPA or if we manufacture BPA-free containers. BPA or bisphenol-A for those of you who don’t know, is a chemical that is used to make epoxy resins and polycarbonate plastics. This chemical has been somewhat controversial because at certain temperatures it has been found to leach out of the packaging and into water, drinks, and food products in very small amounts. Although it currently seems the jury is still out on whether or not BPA leaching can cause harm when consumed, many consumers would rather be safe than sorry.

Lacontainer Inc. manufactures many polyethelyene containers and polypropylene containers that are BPA free. Those would include Lacons, Lavials, Microvials, Flexatop, Nucons, and Polyvials. Most of our products are currently manufactured with food grade polypropylene and polyethylene plastics that, to the best of our knowledge do not contain BPA as an addative. The styrene and CAS/BAS containers, may/may not contain BPA. Check the MSDS/spec sheet for these materials. If you have any concerns or would like to request a Regulatory Data Sheet for Chemical Products please feel free to contact our sales staff or our quality control department at 714-694-0101 .

Tax Free Internet

Now we can all sleep at night!

As reported on News.com

“Scarcely a week before an existing ban on Internet access taxes is set to expire, the U.S. Senate late Thursday voted to let the prohibition live on for seven more years.

The compromise bill, which was approved by a voice vote, would prohibit state and local governments from taxing any service that enables users to connect to the Internet and some related services through 2014. That’s three years longer than the version passed by the House of Representatives last week.”
