I see these are phthalates free; are these balls BPA free?

I believe they are. Most of OXO's products that will contain food steer clear of BPA, PVC and phthalates.

for more detail I looked up Polypropylene specifically - Question was is polypropylene BPA free and the answer = YES. Polypropylene does not contain any of the following phthalates:Dibutyl, Benzylbutyl, Diisodecyl, Di-N-Hexyl, Bis-2-ethylhexyl.

Claudia, I cannot attest to these jar lids being BPA-free, however, the following link takes you to the 4 oz Ball jars which apparently DO HAVE the new BPA-free lids. I found the BPA-free answer under one of the questions specifically asking if the lids were BPA-free for canning baby food. I hope this helps. :) Ball Jar Crystal Jelly Jars with Lids and Bands, Quilted, 4-Ounce, Set of 12

Hi! Did you ever find out the answer to your question, as I am wondering the same thing....or were you able to find one that is phthalate free?

yes they are plastic, but not sure about BPA free, I'd contact manufacturer for reassurance on that.It's a REALLY nice kit!

Yes! I bought 2 of these and the package says they are BPA, PVC, and Phthalate free.

It is BPA-free. Click on the "Features & Details" section (well, at least if you're using the mobile site) and down toward the bottom, under "Product Information", you'll see "Material Type", and it says BPA-free, phthalate-free, latex-free, etc.

I do know that they are made in the USA, so most likely they are BPA free. To the best of my knowledge, most plastics recently made in the USA are BPA free. I love mine. Have had them for a little over a year. We use them all the time, and have had only one crack.

I never looked, but I would guess they are as most plastic baby things now are BPA-free. My baby has put them in their mouth. If you're uncomfortable with them you could easily switch out the toys for other things. I've done that to add variety and simply change his "scenery".

I don't believe these are BPA free but I'm not 100% sure. I bought them as party favors for my kids birthday party and they're cute but certainly made of flimsy plastic

Staight from the company, these are made from PVC and polyethylene plastic. They claim they are phthalate free and BPA free. Many reviews reported an off-gassing smells out of the box. If these have a bad smell then something in the plastic is breaking down and releasing chemicals. I'm sorry to say, but if these are made with PVC then they are NOT SAFE. Maybe by US standards but I highly doubt they would pass in Europe. They may have been able to make the PVC without phthalates but they must have had to find a suitable plasticizer replacement. This replacement just isn't a known toxin YET. The same goes for BPA. A replacement has been found that is just as toxic so companies can use the replacement and label the product BPA free. Just remember where plastic comes from...petroleum. There is no getting around it. Plus, polyethylene terephthalate or PET (if that is the one they use) can leach a toxic heavy metal called antimony. Most problems occur with plastic as it ages which doesn't take long. So, do your homework and don't take the companies word for it! Stick with wood toys with water based paint.

Not all Ball lids are BPA free. Go to this site to learn the difference. http://diaryofatomato.com/2013/05/22/mastering-food-preservation-balls-bpa-free-canning-lids/

LMGTFY. According to the FAQ on the Prince Lionheart website- all their products are BPA and phthalate free.

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 have looked everywhere and cannot find the answer, people that have e-mailed Fisher price as recent as 2013 were told only food based products were BPA free, I do not think these stacking rings are BPA free.
