Plastic bottles and sippy cups. Are we really poisoning our kids?

I saw something on PBS month ago that said it had?
Maybe they were talking about doing it?

I was in a store yesterday - looking at baby bottles. They are offering plastic bottles free of PBA...But, how do we know the bottles do not contain the stuff? We don't...

Not all said on the package "pba free"...

Since we were breastfeeding, we only used one bottle a day. So buying 3 glass bottles seemed a small price for playing it safe. We still use plastic sippy cups, but they are not BPA plastic. I'm sure somewhere down the line someone will find out ALL plastic is harmful

I plan on transitioning to glass and stainless. I have all PBA free plastic right now. But like a previous poster said, how do we now it's safe. Anyway, what would be the best way to wash the stuff in the meantime? No dishwasher? OK. warm water? soap? water and vinegar? (I read that somewhere).
