Are the lids lead proof for liquid?

Do you perhaps mean "leaK" proof? It would be an easy typo to make. If you really meant "leaD", I'd say it's highly unlikely to contain lead. If you meant "leaK", I'd be a little reluctant to try it; the lids fit snugly, but it's easy to not get an edge down firmly. I use them for yogurt bought a liter at a time and rarely transport a full one anywhere. I like them enough that when I broke one recently, I ordered a new set so'd have exactly as many as I need. Yes, they are glass and they can break; I dropped one on a laminate countertop from maybe 8" and it broke into a number of pieces of widely varying sizes, some quite sharp. Maybe not for a kid's lunchbox.

They're more than not leakproof, they're actually a little loose. Not so loose that the lids don't stay on the bowls, but loose enough they're clearly not air- or watertight.

I didn't know but you made me curious. I put water in one and it did have a slow drip when I turned it on it's side. The tops are snug, but not totally leakproof.

These are great quality, I don't believe the lids will pop off if you drop them and (although I can't imagine why they'd be left in pouring rain) I believe they will stay rain-water resistant :)

They are made of Tritan, a bpa-free copolymer similar to polycarbonate. I do not know if the lids fit the old black lidded containers add my prior plastic ware had curved blue lids.

They're nice little containers, but not liquid proof. There's no seal or special closure as in Tupperware style pieces.

As far as I know yes. Did some research and these are suppose to be lead free

I haven't tried to use them in this manner but, to be honest, I think that would be asking for trouble. These lids are tight, but not bulletproof. You should probably try to find something where the lid screws on tightly, rather than pushes down to form a seal. My opinion only.

I do not think so, but don't now for sure. The reason I say this, these lids are glass with a rubber seal...this is a question for Pyrex directly.

I am not sure if the lids are BPA free. I bought them as a gift for someone. I never opened the box.

Yes very well in fact they have a metal trim around the edges so the are very durable if you accidentally knock them against the corner of something metal.. the only thing that would make them better is a steam hole in the lids..

Hi, There are some inaccurate responses to this question. The lids are in fact BPA free just like the entire VonShef range. Many Thanks, Designer Habitat

Not sure if it's lead free or not. I will say this: the lid sucks--it doesn't lock.

No they do not contain lead ,researched before I purchased and yes they hold a 5 gallon jug.

Short answer is no, they are not leak proof. There is no "gasket" in the lid and so when laid on its side, liquid will slowly leak out. With the shaker in, it seemed leak proof, but who would store liquids in a bottle with a shaker top?

I really can't speak for the lids, they are glass so I wouldn't try it.Forgot to post this ans with my other one.

Not sure how to answer this... These are the same as my original set -- fairly sturdy and work well. The lids are pliable but I wouldn't call them "thin thin thin". I have no complaints.

Definetily no !!! These are leads covered in regular plastic I use it for refrigeration and that's it

Yes...the glass drinking jars use standard lids. Be careful of the plastic glasses...the lids are not standard.
