Are these BPA free? Phthalate free? I'd like to find out if these are BPA free? Phthalate free? What kind plastic are these made out of?

On the Japanese products, if you look on the back of the package, there should be a triangular or square arrow icon, and it will have a PP or PET or PE in or next to it. That tells you the type of plastic used. PP is #5 in the US, polypropylene (used for Tupperware, baby bottles, etc.) PET is #1 Polyethylene terephthalate (used for bottled water.) PE is #2 or #4 (high or low density Polyethylene.) All four of those types are BPA-free. ("4, 5, 1, 2; all the rest are bad for you.")If you purchase and the package shows something else, Amazon has to pay return shipping, as then the description would be inaccurate.

I doubt it. If it were, I'm sure they'd advertise! Try Green Toys, Green Sprout, or Boon bath toys. I believe those are all PVC, BPA, and phthalate free. Some Sassy toys are as well, you just have to check into certain models.

They are BPA-free, but BPA-free does not mean EA-free (Ectopic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Secretion). Stressed plastics in particular (e.g. those used in the microwave, exposed to light) release hormone-affecting compounds more so, and some BPA-free plastics release more than those with BPA. Only way to get around it for now is to use glass. That is until companies start testing their products as EA free y independent labs.

I just checked the Rubbermaid website in the FAQs under these trays in the product section and THESE TRAYS ARE BPA and phthalate free. And considering that, PVC seems very unlikely. I'd email Rubbermaid if you need more info. Happy to help.

BPA & Phthalates are in plastics - this jar is glass, so it inherently is BPA & Phthalate free. I don't know how many oz it holds, but the description says 3.06 oz so I would go with that. The glass is recyclable.

Hi. I bought these, in part, because the description online for this item said that they were BPA free, so I assume that's correct. Beyond that, I don't know. I usually rip off the packaging and toss it.

BPA is something in plastics. These are glass so they naturally don't have BPA.

SAME SET available at Kitchen Kapers, Sears.com and Kerekes (bakedeco.com) listed: Made of BPA and phthalate-free plastic. PS DO NOT microwave because they don't hold up AT ALL. For Royal or color flow they are perfect and I use hot water bath if I need to soften chocolate. Pricing similar BUT...No driving, no tax and with my amazon prime account free shipping so better deal on Amazon hands down.

Yes, they are made of silicone and BPA free. They are really a great product. They clean up quickly and easily and they are very sturdy, even if you have kids that like to chew on things. I like them for my smoothies. :)

They are made of heavy duty UV protected HDPE made from post consumer recycled material. As such they are PVC free and BPA free.

Nowhere on it does this set say that it is BPA free, and as a matter of fact, it is made of PVC--a highly toxic to little ones endocrine (hormone)-disrupting plastic, loaded with phthalates and carcinogens. I returned mine because of the intense chemical odor and learning it is made of PVC.

Honestly, these were a gift and I cannot remember if they are BPA free. I had something similar to this that I purchased years ago and am happily still using. My dog loves it. Hope this helps you.

I read that they are BPA/PVC free but I would double check the company's website to confirm.
