What is the liquid inside? Is it toxic if the plastic breaks?

The liquid is a sodium acetate super solution. It's got so much solid dissolved that it looks for a trigger to recrystallize - that releases heat. The trigger is the disc contained in the pack. To answer the question, sodium acetate is the acidic salt that's used to flavor "vinegar and salt" potato chips.

This info was printed on the HotSnapZ directions that came with the warmers: They contain water, a small metal activator disc and sodium acetate, a safe food grade salt ingredient. The contents are safe, non-toxic and non-hazardous.

I have been asked by the woman who is training me and my new service dog. The answer was presented by a different person who said, "This info was printed on the HotSnapZ directions that came with the warmers: They contain water, a small metal activator disc and sodium acetate, a safe food grade salt ingredient. The contents are safe, non-toxic and non-hazardous." I use them to massage my dogs and cats, but they have to cool down a bit before I do that. I want to relax my critters, not burn 'em up!

There's 2 different ones, the one with the freezable liquid inside and this one. The one with the freezable liquid cracks too easily. This one is better!

The only plastic inside is for the spigot which is very small. The rest is stainless steel and the filters. Best tasting water...very fresh, odorless, crisp...

Plastic, but why they would do this I have no idea. Everyone in the industry knows plastic is toxic.

This plastic is very rigid and I wouldn't put a "hot" liquid in it. I make sure there is room temperature fluid in when I add brewed tea to made flavored tea.

Rubber, it breaks down rubber (I think most plastics are inert) but it doesn't change the answer. Nope, don't use it

It appears to be made of plastic and covered with a type of foam rubber. I don't know if there are any harmful chemicals but still the same, I don't think I would eat it either. Just joking. I haven't noticed any ill effects from this product. I really like it.

It is plastic, I thought bpa free...works well but I also don't leave it in for long periods and use ice water

Yes, the inside is also plastic. However, you don't need to worry - I've never had any problems with it. You don't get a plastic taste from it. A friend of mine has one in white (mine is the lime green), and hers is problem-free also.

I don't know what is in it,whether it is plastic. But it is waterproof. When the upside cotton is wet, the downside is dry. Haven't found plastic come from the inside.do have found a lot of little pieces of plastic dropping from the fastener.

Hello! The only plastic part inside is the water measuring stick, the metal round inside is containing heating equipment and it has no seams inside kettle so it's perfectly safe to use, no plastic. I've got this kettle for my mom a year ago and it`s the best one from all we had, still working, no plastic taste. Please enjoy!

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.

No nasty chemicals from warm milk in plastic. Even the BPA free plastic bottles release different things into the milk. Glass is a much safer option for a little one.

This is non-toxic though I wouldn't buy it for an aggressive chewer. My dog got right to the plastic inside the ball. I had to take it away for fear he would swallow the plastic inside

It's not stainless steel on inside I can tell you that. Some kind of plastic I'm afraid. I have one of these and this aspect is the one thing I worry about rather. Do the high temperatures result in the plastic seeping carcinogens into the water? I'd love to know for sure this was not the case.

It's plastic. Sturdy enough that you can't accidentally squish the bottle when pouring.
