I have no idea. You might want to contact the manifacturer. Got it as a gift and so far everyone seems to be just fine.

I do not think so. Being BPA free was not in the description for the product.

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!).

Some BPA-free plastics are worse endocrine disrupters than BPA. http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2014/03/tritan-certichem-eastman-bpa-free-plastic-safe

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.

Whats funny is even a vast majority of 'BPA free' plastics leach chemicals that mess with infant endrocrine. There is a public study out there that shows 95% of all the plastics they tested -- even BPA free -- tested positive for the chemicals we strive to stay away from. Can you say for certain that any plastic manufacturer is 100% safe? Nope. Why? They do not and will not show you their chemical composition of their plastic. Those blueprints are proprietary and heavily guarded.If you're worried about BPA and harmful chemicals, live a completely plastic-free life. Use glass/ceramic.

I would suggest not using this product with hot coffee. Even though it is BPA free does not mean the plastic is free of all bisphenols. Although their website does say that the plastic is tested at high FDA standards to be microwave safe most plastics will still leech estrogenic and/or androgenic chemicals and high temperatures.

Don't know if it is BPA free. But it really works. We've purchased several as gifts. Recipients do have a confused look until they try it. Some are too intimidated. I'd say do not use it any more than you would eat mercury laden fish, if you are worried. The fish recommendation is not more than once a week. Or go back to your boiling pot of water and guess wrong as I do, one half the time about the taste of al dente. I get head slapped by my Italian mom, yes, about half the time when I used boiling water in a pot. and kissed on the cheek when I use Fast Pasta Cooker.

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!

No clue about BPA. Mine did not have a plastic taste other than the normal to be expected mouth piece.

3months+ means it is suitable for babies over 3 months & BPA "stands for bisphenol A. BPA is an industrial chemical that has been used to make certain plastics and resins since the 1960s. BPA is found in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Polycarbonate plastics are often used in containers that store food and beverages, such as water bottles. They may also be used in other consumer goods."

I'm not 100% sure. I don't think it is bpa free, do not recall seeing any 'bpa free' statement on the packaging. Here's the brand website if you'll like to verify with the manufacturer: http://www.kidsii.com/brightstarts/ . In terms of play value, I highly recommend it. My nephew started playing with it from around 7 months, and we think it helps develop his motor skills (hand motions). We also started teaching him not to put things into his mouth from around 4 months old, and were very cautious about not letting him teeth on anything other than his pacifier and specific teething toys.

I would contact Avent & ask but I believe they are. Pretty sure they make all baby bottles,nipples, pacifiers, etc BPA free now.

I never looked, but I would guess they are as most plastic baby things now are BPA-free. My baby has put them in their mouth. If you're uncomfortable with them you could easily switch out the toys for other things. I've done that to add variety and simply change his "scenery".
