Haha! I'm coming to ask the SAME question. I like this box a lot, but need to know first if it has BPA (and would also love to know if it has BPS, pthilates, or any other nasty stuff.) It looks like it might be melamine, but I'm not sure.

BPA is a very real concern. To poo-poo this inquirer's concern is adolescent.

Plastic....BPA free... I really enjoy using them, especially with the lunch bag designed for them. Very flexible, lots of options. Other questions? Post, and I'll get back to you.

If the product says BPA free I am assuming the whole product has to be BPA free. From what I know glass is naturally BPA free. I may be wrong but I have a 3 year old and I try my best to get him the least toxic stuff. From my research this is one of the safest.

They appear to be constructed of either polypropylene or polyethylene and neither of those use BPA. That chemical tends to only be used in vinyl or poly carbonate. Nordic Ware would probably provide you with an accurate answer if you shoot them an email.

Good question! BPA free, perhaps you can educate me on what "BPA free" is........? Have use this only once.

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.

I think if it was BPA Free they'd be bragging about it and it would be indicated in an easily found manner. The fact that no one can find the info means to me that it is not BPA. Texas is not the most ecologically friendly or health-oriented environment as a whole. The Amazon ad here says that they were made from recycled plastics which is likely more of an economical rather than ecological or health oriented decision, IMHO.

All of the products you mentioned are BPA, PVC and phthalate-free. Be assured we only use safe non-toxic materials. The safety of the children using/playing with our products is our primary concern, and all of our products meet and exceed all safety standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM).

People, BPA-free is a meaningless term. It only means that the plastic is most likely BPS plastic, which is equally a health concern.

I find it interesting that the website listing for this activity ball makes not mention of it, and people say neither does the packaging, but Walmart is saying that it is BPA free. Here is the manufacturer's website of this item, as I found that it didn't come up when I typed "Clack and Slide Activity Ball" and various other key word searches: http://www.kidsii.com/brightstarts/bright-starts-clack-slide-activity-ball Sadly, SafeMama says they have been getting conflicting reports regarding another item, and in the end, the company, Bright Starts, merely said "consumers can be assured that Kids II products comply with all existing and applicable U.S. and international standards for BPA and phthalates in our products". Hmmm, I guess take what you want from that answer.

Sorry, but there is no information on the can about BPA. I have found a lot of organic products do not provide info on BPA.

The colored seals you see in the picture are either a soft plastic or rubber and if I remember the packaging I think it said BPA free but I think it was talking about the stainless steel. If you're worried about the rubber or possibly sharp edges (someone else commented on possibly sharp edges) then I would remove the rubber bit and before giving them to your kids you can take the mold and plate off the stick ...this way the parts also don't go missing.

Hello Stephen; I honestly can't tell you. But if I had a question about plastics containing BPA I'd probably not purchase them. If you could contact the manufacturer he should be able to give a definitive answer. Sorry I can't help you.

I did a little research on this, and from what I can tell, Bisphenol A is only an issue in polycarbonate plastic. The clear stuff, usually labeled with a 7 at the bottom...I'm buying this....
