Interesting that no brouhaha was made over this when the info came out about the plastics.

It isn't just the bottles, but the contents too.

Excerpt:

Laboratory tests of canned infant formula conducted by the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) and a certified commercial laboratory reveal
that a plastics chemical called bisphenol A (BPA) leaches from metal
can linings into formula at levels which, according to new EWG
analyses, would expose some bottle-fed infants to BPA in excess of
doses that caused serious adverse effects in animal tests. There are no
government safety standards limiting the amount of BPA in infant
formula.
