I thought plastic containers cause cancer, can you clear that up for me?

it depends upon what the container is made of and what you use it for, i.e.: cooking in the microwave and freezing liquids. Not all 'plastic' is created equal. And, as is always the best answer, contact the company and see what materials are used in their containers. It sure beats speculation.

Mine doesn't have that warning labeled on it. From what I just googled that label is a California requiredment. I honestly am not familiar with much of the cancer causing ingredients in anything. I personally will look further into this subject. Good question. Good stuff.

There are some bad carcinogenic ingredients. Don't buy. Aluminum, oxibenzone.

I have never heard that before. The only thing I can think of that may have bearing on the topic is that aluminum foil isn't good to use on food due to the possibility of aluminum salts getting into the food, and aluminum isn't good to ingest.

The plastic used is a type that is resistant to alcohol. The one that I had before (same type) was not alcohol resistant. The new ones are Coast Guard. EPA, etc.

good question, wish I knew! I guess not. I thought that was associated mostly with plastic drinking bottles.

I keep my supplements away from any light source so not to concerned. You would have to contact the manufacturer as to why they use clear plastic? I have no clue. I will share with you though, I'm not buying this product again because it does't agree with my stoach repeating with a fishy taste.

I notice on the container that it says to avoid contact with eyes and skin, so its got to be toxic. It also says to throw in "trash," nothing mentioned about recycling and there is no recycling symbol on the container, probably because the contents are toxic. This is too bad if it is not recyclable because each time you use one, the big plastic container must be tossed in the trash. It is made in China. It would be worth a call to the 1-800 number to ask this question.

http://hamptonroads.com/2013/03/cancer-patients-and-survivors-are-kcups-safe BUT...I do want to point out that I think you might want to question the 'new BPA free' plastics are not much better if they are made from a product called 'BPS'. http://primaldocs.com/opinion/bpa-free-is-toxic/

My pleasure! My daughter-in-law loves her pyrex sets especially since she read some chemicals can leach onto left-over foods stored in plastic containers in the refrigerator. Also, we always know they are clean and there is no residue from different foods. Have a good day!!

No. Its a plastic container(I think) and If you microwave it I assume something bad will happen! Just dont do it :)

BPA is in 92% of canned foods today. Season Mackerel does not list it on their package. I just would limit my amount of canned foods and plastic containers. I am sure their is a whole lot of other things in our processed foods that come from many plants around the world. Look what we did to all our rivers and lakes. I am sure a little canned mackerel will not kill you. Everything in moderation.

Plastic is plastic, aka chemicals. I would want any oils that I buy to be in a glass container.

There are many warnings now being issued against microwaving using plastic bowls. Some of the chemicals are leaching out of the plastic and into the food you are eating so it really is not a good idea.

It isn't the kind of plastic that "leeches" (leaches). These things are regulated; don't be a chemophobe.

That may very well be true which is disturbing but I use foodsaver bags so the water inside the container never really touches the food. But yes you are probably correct.

It contains plastic. All plastic can possibly cause cancer according to lawyers. Just don't lick the phone before each time you use it. Don't worry, you'll probably be long dead from a heart attack before this phone causes you cancer.
