Is the plastic bpa free? Will it leech chemicals into my water?

I don't see anything about it on the warranty sheet. I would suggest contacting the manufacturer.

I inquired as to whether there was BPA in the plastic components of this kettle & received this reply: Thank you for your email and interest in Bonavita kettles. "All plastic used in our products is BPA free."

I have no idea. It's plastic and not advertised as BPA free so I'm betting it's in there!

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

Yes, mine is marked as plastic number 5. Which is supposed to be BPA free and safe.

Yes it is! I emailed the company to ask because I wasn't sure, and they replied saying it's 100% BPA free.

No it not plastic. It mean that it screen the water not letting any chemical come from the faucet.

Sorry, I don't know. I only used it for transporting water to an aquarium. I was not concerned about BPA.

The bottle is made of plastic and I cannot find anywhere where it indicates it's bpa free.

Yes, it does have plastic in contact with the water (not much, but some), plus the lid and spout filter parts. It's still enough plastic that I can taste and smell the chemicals which leech into the water. Disappointing, because I bought this kettle thinking it might be better than some of the others. As far as I can tell, there isn't a single plastic-free electric kettle on the market (in the US) right now.

Technically the answer is yes. However, according to the published report by The Endocrine Society, most plastics leach similar hormone disrupting compounds that can actually be more potent and dangerous than BPA. So, freshly boiled water from this kettle does has contact with the plastic on lid as it is poured out, and yes, if you are concerned about hormone disrupting chemicals ( and really everyone should be!) then it is not a great choice. I did buy an all stainless steel kettle on Amazon that had a plastic ring on top that I replaced with a drawer pull ( stainless steel screw) from hardware store. Got the idea from a reviewer. Will post the brand in later reply. hope this helps, I know how challenging it is to be aware of these things.

No mention on the packaging about BPA content, but it does say it is drinking water safe. Fittings are not heavy brass, but brass-colored stamped metal.

I'm going to have to guess no. There aren't any labels saying it is BPA free, and BPA free materials have a different sound when I tap them. This seems to be regular plastic.

It comes with a plastic ring - I don't know if it's bpa free - and glass lid. The ring never touches the water.

Not sure if it BPA free or not, cause have bought mine a few years ago, so don't have a package.The lid is plastic inside. It can contact the water if you pour too too much and it is boiling and touching the lid.If you add regular amount of water, it doesn't happen.Yes, you need to open the lid to pour water.

I am not sure about BPA free because it is not stated in the Paperwork that came with the beaker. However, it does show on the beaker that it is an 07 plastic that you can recycle. I hope this helps you.
