Is this BPS (Bisphenol S) free? BPS seems to be as bad as BPA.

I sent an mail to the company and received a response today: "There is no BPA listed in the MSDS (manufacturers safety data sheet)." I hope this helps. It might not be definitive, but at least seems ok.

Darn - I'm not sure. I sort of took BPA-free to mean "not from China" but now I'd like to know, too.

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.

Great question....I honestly don't know. The bottle does not state anything about BPA. NeilMed has a website.Maybe you can find an answer. I never thought about this and I am going to check as well. Thanks for making me aware!

I would imagine they are free of BPA. The bisphenol A (BPA) additive is typically used in epoxies and polycarbonates (generally clear plastics). These balls, I believe, are made of polyethylene, which wouldn't benefit from BPA.

I can't see anything on the box or the manual suggesting that it is BPA free. I also couldn't find anything online, sorry. It is approved by the FDA though :)

Hello, The manual does not explicitly mention BPA free. If it was a benefit, I would assume they would mention it.

I do not know for sure, but I am fairly certain that nothing on it or it's packaging said it was BPA free.

I tossed the box It MAY have said BPA free. Im pretty sure it didnt say pthylate free specifically.

I think it's made of PP without any adders. Only looking after BPA will not really help. Some BPA-free Plastics now contain BPS, which is maybe much more dangerous. The best is, to reduce plastic as much as possible.

Sorry, I really don't know other than it is BPA free. You might want to contact the company.

Hi Anne; Thank you for your inquiry. The item you have inquired is BPA free. BPA is a mass-produced industrial chemical used primarily to make polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. There are concerns regarding BPA's potential health effects however there no proven cases that is so. BPA Free products are made without this chemical and that is ow they get their name.
