Maybe I need to read more, but does the BPA mean that this item contains the BPA chamicle that many folks are trying to avoid?

From my understanding the older models contained BPA but the newer ones do not. I may be wrong about that, but it seems I remember reading it somewhere.

Sorry, but I don't know offhand. I can only say that generally it is a good selling point if something is recycled and they would be sure to mention it, I would think. If not mentioned by manufacturer, it probably is not. Just sayin'David

I had an old Tupperware Jello Mold, similar to the one pictured. I do not believe plastic produced in the old days contained BPA. I think that was a 21st century development. If I had my old jello mold, I would have used it and not felt the need to buy a new one. That was not the case, so I bought a new one and have used it sever times...works just like the old one.

No. It's plastic or similar which is a big bummer as I don't see any signal that it is BPA - free. If someone knows if it is BPA -free please mention! Thanks! Otherwise it's nice design in every way.

BPA free claims are a farce. BPA has been replaced with BPS which is a sister chemical and as dangerous, if not more so than BPA. This pitcher contains part marked with #7 meaning it very likely contains BPS. AVOID!!!

I should know the answer to this question but I don't. I didn't think to look. If you find out let me know. I love this product and will continue to use it regardless but the BPA content will influence how I use it in the future.

You have to be careful. The older ones aren't BPA free but the newer ones are.

One way to avoid BPA in plastics is to avoid purchasing plastics labeled with a number 7 or 3 recycling symbol, as plastics with other recycling numbers do not use BPA in their manufacture. This container has a 5....meaning.... Plastic #5 - PP (Polypropylene). Increasingly becoming accepted by curbside recycle programs, plastic #5 is also one of the safer plastics to look for. I hope this helps you!

I don't know either, and packaging is long gone - might not have mentioned there either. While I try to avoid BPA, since I don't store anything in this, or heat it, I am not going to worry too much about it, in this instance.

I doubt as I haven't read anything like BPA/Chemicals free on their product specification/details. But i agree with Greatagal as the FAQs and CEO message talks about safety.

I do not recall anything on the packaging saying one way or another, but the utensils are made of 100% lexan and according to what I found: The bulk of the research shows that Plastic #7 (Lexan, Nalgene and other polycarbonate) bottles do not leach bisphenol A in amounts proven to cause health concerns in humans. Also, the plate set is made of polypropolene which according to what I found polypropylene nor melamine contain two of the toxins that have raised concern in recent years: bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates.Sorry I cannot be more specific. I have had this item for some time.

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

I would presume it is not if it does not specifiy. Shame on the seller/manufacturer, all should be BPA free by now.

It says on side, "the lining of this can was produced without BPA" so you should be okay....

That's great, except what they replace BPA with is just as bad, if not worse. Regardless, your food barely comes in contact with the plastic, let alone is it prolonged contact.

Not to be skeptical -- but a lot of manufactures are going with BPS which is far worse than BPA.The FDA could give a rip about our heath and work for big business IMHO.

Unfortunately, BPA-free is not the end of the cause for concern--it is just the beginning. It is now known that an alternative to BPA, called BPS, is widely used in its place, allowing products to claim BPA-free. BPS has been documented to act as a stronger, more dangerous endocrine disrupter than BPA, as well as more persistent in the environment. This toy has BPS if it is not disclosed to omit it.
