nowhere on the box or the manual does it say it is bpa free, if it were it would say so so i'm pretty sure it is not bpa free

I went online and found out that this model DOES have trays with BPA. I am returning it.

That's a question for the manufacturer, but I doubt if any appliance designed before 2013 is BPA free.

Yes, it is plastic & BPA free. I would like it better if it were glass but it works well.

I bought mine less than a year ago and it is a light, translucent brown. However, nothing that I can see on the packaging indicates that it is BPA-free. But the model I received is definitely the newer version; i also have an older version that appeared slightly darker. Might want to check aerobie.com for more info. Actually, Bob S. pulled the info off aerobie's site, so he saved you a trip. :-)

I would assume it is not. When I called the company they told me "yes"... but I already have the set, so I guess they were just trying to make me happy. It something as important as BPA is not listed on the package... I assume it isn't.

I looked at the box and it doesn't mention if it is bpa free or not. Maybe the reynolds web site will mention something regarding this.

It's made of some kind of plastic. I don't not if it's BPA free or not. If it isn't I am going to throw it away.

I don't know if it is BPA free. The instructions say "hand-wash only". I really like mine. It is amazing how long the ice lasts.

Yes, mine is marked as plastic number 5. Which is supposed to be BPA free and safe.

The next model, 7601, is labeled explicitly "BPA free." To me that means either (a) the product was always BPA free but enough people complained so the company felt it had to clarify that statement for the upgrade OR (b) the 7600 is made of plastic that leaches but the 7601 isn't. If you've already bought it like I did and it's too late to take it back, I would either call the manufacturer, junk it, or use it sparingly. I think heating plastic in all forms is a bad idea, but since it was a gift and is useful, I use it - but only now and then.

From my understanding the older models contained BPA but the newer ones do not. I may be wrong about that, but it seems I remember reading it somewhere.

Yes. It's definitely BPA free. I just saw the other reply. Edit: I could have sworn it was labeled BPA free. Sorry. I see from the website that they used to be labelled BPA free but removed it and are working on the issue. They also offer it in glass jars, which I prefer.

I emailed Hamilton Beach last week and they finally got back to me (2 - 3 days, my foot). Anyway, the exact response from them says directly that there is no BPA in this model. Here is their exact response:Model 40911 does not contain BPA. The pitcher material is made of SAN (Styrene Acrylonitrile), which is an FDA approved plastic. -------------------So, it looks like you should be good to go. Now I gotta go and buy this thing, based on these reviews. :)

I'm sorry... I don't remember what the label has said (if anything) about this item being BPA free.

I just called Oster and asked if the 5712 or 5711 is BPA free and they said both models are BPA free

I don't know if it's BPA free. Have never used this one. But you can go to the manufacturers website and check. You can also send questions thru Amazon to the manufacturer.
