I am not sure about bpa, but I found this information online on the KidKraft site: http://www.kidkraft.com/quality-and-safety/ It sounds like they are very safe and meet/ exceed all safety regulations. The site also has faq's and a way to contact the company if you need more information.

I checked, and I cant find anywhere where it says BPA free, so Im going to assume its not BPA free.

I doubt as I haven't read anything like BPA/Chemicals free on their product specification/details. But i agree with Greatagal as the FAQs and CEO message talks about safety.

Unfortunately, BPA-free is not the end of the cause for concern--it is just the beginning. It is now known that an alternative to BPA, called BPS, is widely used in its place, allowing products to claim BPA-free. BPS has been documented to act as a stronger, more dangerous endocrine disrupter than BPA, as well as more persistent in the environment. This toy has BPS if it is not disclosed to omit it.

Yes there are plastic parts in it. As for BPA Free, I'm not a chemist. There are no Plastic type symbols on it.

Great question. Yes, our play balls are BPA free. These play balls are made out of low-density polyethylene.

As far as I know only if they are medela brand. They sell them, but they are hard to find. If you end up having to use the plastic ones they at least are BPA free.

I believe not. My husband bought them and he shops for price, not safety. There was no indication on the packaging that they are bpa free and they had that new plastic smell that I now associate with bpa containing products.

In the detailed description it states BPA Free. I don't imagine any reputable baby product retailer could not be.

This toy is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), although according to the manufacturer, it is phthalates free. Thank you for shopping with DGS Novelties!

Just a heads-up for parents. Just because a product passes US standards for any chemical does not mean it is free of that chemical. For instance, many children's wooden toys that are painted have some lead in the paint but it is the amount allowed by law. Still, if your child were to eat that paint, he or she would be ingesting lead. I say this hear because I am not sure that this product is truly BPA free. It sounds like it meets the US standards but if it is truly BPA free, then why don't they list that under their product specs here on Amazon? Worth questioning.

As far as I know it is BPA free. That's what it says on the box and so I believe they are.

I have no idea if the toy train in BPA free....but I would not give any of these trains to a child that still puts things in it's mouth anyway. Wait six months or a year...then get them.

BPA stands for bisphenol A. BPA is an industrial chemical that has been used to make certain plastics and resins since the 1960s. Exposure to BPA is a concern because of possible health effects of BPA on the brain, behavior and prostate gland of fetuses, infants and children. I ALSO WANT TO KNOW IF THE TOYS ARE BPA FREE!

Right in the description it says "All Re-Play products are BPA-free, PVC-free, phthalate-free, melamine-free...and dishwasher safe" However with any plastics, its still a chemical. I do not heat even if it says they are safe As far as the product they are really great plates for little ones. I would purchase again. Hope that helps.

The product is BPA as well as Phthalate Free, and it is perfectly safe for Kids of all ages, and We DO NOT use any recycled material like other manufacturers may had.
