Am not sure if bpa free or not. We only used a couple of times. Sounded like a good idea but did not work that well fou us. Hard to sit properly if not full. Easy to store though.

I forgot! I can't say 100% if it contains BPA or not. I know BPA was used in polycarbonate products and in epoxy resins. I tend to believe this product doesn't contain BPA because it was approved by our Water Quality Dept. to collect drinking water samples.

It's made out of a type of poliester called polyethylene. We use these bottles to collect drinking water samples where I work.

Collapsible plastic containers. I am not sure what BPA free refers to. They work very well. No complaints in my end.

According to this site, polyethylene does not contain BPA, or Bisphenol-A, which may or may not cause genetic damage. The animal testing that was done was at far higher doses than you could ever get from packaging, yet most people now avoid plastics that contain it for food and water storage to be on the safe side.http://www.outdoorpros.com/How-To-Guides/How-to-Know-Your-Plastics/183

I actually didn't see a recycling code on it. Sorry. It does say BPA free and dishwasher safe.

When I searched BPA free and collapsible this model showed up... I assume that means it is BPA Free but I think I will call the manufacturer to confirm before I buy it

Plastic--I never saw a BPA Free label or statement on it, but it could be. Best to contact the manufacturer about that.

According to a review I read dated 2013 someone contacted Teton and was told it was BPA free. I have read that the BPA situation is still being investigated by both the pros and cons alike. My question is this. If someone told you that any product you purchase is BPA free, how would you actually know? I mean can you purchase some sort of testing kit and would the kit cost 10 times the amount of the product? To me it's kind of like buying gasoline. Unless you have a testing kit, how do you really know what you're getting for the price?

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

Hi Nicholas,Great question! I had a customer that asked the same question and I reached out to the manufacturer for an answer. The models we have is stock are in fact BPA free according to their customer service team. I am not certain if all of them are. If you currently own one you can call them and provide the UPC number, if you are interested in purchasing one the models we list are BPA free. Let me know if you need further assistance. Good luck!

I can't be 100 % sure because I've picked up bits of info online, but it says that it is bpa free.. now I have to go check further.

You are correct in that the bottle's body has a triangle that is blank in the center. Under the triangle is says "BPA free". Maybe you should contact Rubbermaid directly and post your findings on Amazon. Thanks for your research, in advance.

I'm sorry... I don't remember what the label has said (if anything) about this item being BPA free.

I bought mine less than a year ago and it is a light, translucent brown. However, nothing that I can see on the packaging indicates that it is BPA-free. But the model I received is definitely the newer version; i also have an older version that appeared slightly darker. Might want to check aerobie.com for more info. Actually, Bob S. pulled the info off aerobie's site, so he saved you a trip. :-)

I checked, and I cant find anywhere where it says BPA free, so Im going to assume its not BPA free.

This plastic doesn't need BPA, but it has some horrible endocrine disrupters. Its the additives in the plastic to make it heat resistant. There's also a gasket around the stainless steel heating plate. I have no idea what that is made out of. Perhaps silicone??? but even then, silicone is not safe!!! google siloxanes!Then choose your poison if you want hot water conveniently. You could get a glass water kettle and heated on the stove, or in the microwave... Nothing is perfect!!!

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

I checked the OEM's packaging box. It does not mention anything related to the product being "BPA free". The phone number listed is: 877.310.9102. You might want to give them a call to confirm.If you are considering health risk factors you might want to look at the world wide reported findings from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_A

I don't know if this is BPA free or not. I looked over it and there is no indication either way.

I don't know if it is bpa free . I would hope that Amazon would be watchful for false advertising , Maybe we should ask them to clarify what in the product .
