does this 40870 10 cup elec kettle have bpa parts in it

Hey Peggy, I would say no to bpa in the tea kettle. The only possible part would be the gage on the side marking how full it is. Other than that it is all metal.

This is confusing and contradictory. Proctor Silex claims they do not use BPA in any of their plastic used in "food zones". That claim is made here: https://www.proctorsilex.com/products/bpa-information.php#2Yet when you go to their electric kettle lineup (https://www.proctorsilex.com/products/kitchen-appliances-electric-kettles.php) and start going through the descriptions you'll see that this particular model (K2070Y) is the only one not marked as "BPA Free" So, your guess is as good as mine but I would l guess that NO, this is NOT BPA Free as far as I can tell.The review the other user pointed to contradicts what the manufacturer itself claims so I am skeptical.

I could not find information regarding BPA content on this Copco 2 quart Carafe. I also check the Copco website, but found no mention of it.

Nope, bootom of the kettle's lid is plastic. Water level indicator is plastic. Plastic handle is also protruding thru steel body into interior.

The only sign of what seems to be some form of plastic is on the small filter at the spout. Does not seem to cause any problem!! We are highly satisfied with this kettle and would recommend it to you.

if it doesn't brag about being bpa-free, it probably has bpa; but bpa is not the only concern http://plastipure.com/most-bpa-free-products-found-to-leach-chemicals-having-significant-estrogenic-activity-ea

The Bodum kettle has a stainless steel interior base, but the sides are plastic. It is a very good kettle, by the way.

This is a glass pot. I don't think there would be any BPA in it. The bottom interior looks like stainless steel. I'm not sure how the two are joined. So far there isn't any leaking. It's fast and I enjoy the blue light feature.

I called the company and was told that all plastic in the kettle is BPA-free. Glad there are others who are concerned about this as well :)

The only plastic on the kettle itself is the handle and cover. The kettle is stainless steel. I would think this is a question for the manufacturer.

The kettle is completely stainless steel on the inside. There are two small BPA plastic covers for two bolts at the bottom and BPA plastic window along the side with the measurements. The pour spout is also Stainless Steel.

The new version of this kettle IS BPA free. I know this, because A) It has it written on the plastic viewing window (however this picture doesn't show it). B) I also contacted customer service. They are replacing my older model (purchased in 2012, which wasn't BPA free) with the newer version that is BPA free. Hope this helps! Just make sure the one you receive says BPA free on the clear plastic water-level viewing window when you receive it! If not, the ones at Bloomingdales, Breville.com and Williams Sonoma do!

I see no plastic inside the kettle at all. Stainless steel and a heating element.

I haven't seen any claim stating the boiling chamber is BPA free. However, the only product that leaves the boiling chamber is steam. All contaminants are left in the chamber, and not in the steam that will condense into distilled water. The collection container IS supposed to be BPA free.

YES. I just bought this (and returned it) Jan 2015. And in the version I got there IS plastic inside. Where the handle meets the container the plastic pokes through inside! The plastic is above the Max fill line, however plastic IS exposed to water. If you're looking for a plastic free kettle look elsewhere! THERE IS PLASTIC INSIDE (all be it a very small amount).

The water reservoir tank is BPA free but some of the parts used that cone in contact with the water may contain it. I'm guessing that the base of the reservoir which houses the regulator as well as the tubing may have be the areas where BPA may be present.
