Does any of the liquid ever touch any kind of plastic? I know it says BPA free but I really would like to avoid any plastic of any kind.

This is a double-walled tumbler, with the inner layer being glass, so most of the time the liquid will avoid plastics. The mouthpiece, however, is plastic with an outer metal ring; so your beverage will come in contact with plastic as you drink.

The lid is made out of plastic, so yes. It would touch the plastic of the lid as you drink it unfortunately. It's a great mug though!

Yes. The only non plastic part is the metal screen and the inner glass layer. The cap (two parts) are made of plastic and there are rubber rings too. I have deemed the product acceptable for my personal anti-BPA standards. After nearly a year of constant use, the plastic cap still weighs the "same" so if it is degrading into my drinks, then it is happening at less than one part per billion over a year.

You will always need a plastic, an elastic actually, to create a seal without the use of a resin / wax / grease. You probably get more 'exposure' throught the elastic in your underpants. Exposure is minimal. Better world through the responsible use of nature, in this case, elastics!

No, the water is never in contact with plastic. The company fixed that. And, YES, I definitely add 2 drops of liquid, concentrated sea minerals to each glass of water that I drink (Concentrace brand). Otherwise, the body will start leaching minerals from the bones to maintain proper biochemistry.

Hi - I checked the "Features and Benefits" and item 19 says - BPA-Free - All parts that come in contact with coffee or liquid are BPA-Free. Enjoy, happy searching - Larry

I would not advise adding hot liquids into any bpa-free plastic containers--just as I would not do such with plastic that includes bpa in it. Removing polycarbonate plastics (and epoxy resins) from plastics does not remove the toxicity. According to the Mayo Clinic, "Use alternatives. Use glass, porcelain or stainless steel containers for hot foods and liquids instead of plastic containers."I wish blender-makers would go back to simply using glass pitchers. They are easier to clean, too!

I asked the same question before I bought it. I did see a small sign someplace saying it was BPA free. I like this bottle, It is handy to fold it away when packing space and weight is at a premium and when you don't want it leaking all over other stuff.

No, good question. The only plastic is on the spout and the handle. You flip the spout to pour and the handle does not touch the water.

The only sign of what seems to be some form of plastic is on the small filter at the spout. Does not seem to cause any problem!! We are highly satisfied with this kettle and would recommend it to you.

Have you any clue what type of "thermoplastic" is in constant contact with the boiling water? If it happens to be polycarbonate I'd prefer to avoid it, on the assumption that the compound Bisphenol-A would dissolve in the water.

I have 2 of these bottles. Both contain EO mixed with other liquids (alcohol free witch hazel for both I believe) and I've had them for a few weeks. I think the only thing that needs to be watched for is that the EOs don't break down the plastic straw that connects to the sprayer. I haven't noticed an issue, but I know that's a common concern when it comes to EOs and plastic.

Yes, but I stopped taking it internally. It is almost black in color and I think it is absorbing the black plastic. I don't think the bottle is even BPA free so there are a lot of plastic toxins. Safer to go with a glass bottle. I went back to buying it in a glass bottle at Sprouts (Super Target even carries it!).

Hi BPA is only ever found in plastic. The water is held in a glass container. That is probably why they don't mention BPA. Hope that helps :)

I also hate having anything hot in plastic as well. However, it is plastic inside and out, with the exception of the blades and heat coil. The manual does not specify whether it's BPA--free or not, but it says that the body is made of: ABS, PP. You could contact LGLivart website to ask them. The hot slurry is only in there for 30 minutes before it beeps to empty the unit, though.

What plastic exactly? It mentions BPA free, but are there any other bisphenols used? BPS, perhaps? Where can we get the exact list of chemicals? Any certifications from a European consumer safety authority?

No, there is no plastic that is in contact with food. It is not the best immersion blender I have had, but in most cases it is adequate. My favorite was the Ninja, but did not see that on Amazon when I needed to replace it.

The one I have is all glass, the only plastic part is the gasket that is between the top and the bottom unit and it does not come into contact with either the water or the coffee. So no, the water or coffee does not come into contact with plastic.

I do not put any type of plastic in my microwave, even though the plastic does not come in contact with the liquid. i do however plunge this teapot into boiling water, and the plastic has not reacted to that. hope that helps you.

The bottle is glass. The cap is plastic. I have no idea if the cap is BPA free but the cap isnt in contact with the fluid except when shaking
