I was researching this blender to make baby food as well. Did you purchase this model? If so, how is it working for you?

In the detailed description it states BPA Free. I don't imagine any reputable baby product retailer could not be.

Yes google the owners manual all componets that touch the food is bpa free. Unless you have your own chickens its irrelevant anyway. Sadly in this day and time bpa is just the hot ticket bad word. They feed chickens hormones, massive doses of antibiotics, chickens and low grade corn

No. It is not strong enough and is for mixing only. For making mashed food for baby, you can use a hand blender, small food chopper, or a regular blender. Just have to wait for the food to cool down some before putting it into the food chopper or a blender, unless it is a blender with the glass jar. I like hand blender with detachable metal shaft, because 1) I can just stick it into any pots or cups, 2) it is not plastic so I don't have to worry about temperature, 3) the shaft can detach for easy cleaning. I like the Cuisinart CSB-75BC Smart Stick 2-Speed Immersion Hand Blender.

It appears that this toy is lead free. I do not think a company can sell a baby toy that has lead in it anymore due to the laws in place.

I don't know if this product is BPA free. It doesn't matter so much to me because I use mine mainly for storing cheese, which I wrap in a bit of wax paper, so the cheese doesn't actually touch the plastic anyway. If I'm storing fresh berries, I put a layer of slightly damp paper towel between the berries and the container.

Technically it is hard to claim completely "lead free". As any raw material in the world would have some degree of contamination. Unlike crystal, Pyrex should have less than 0.1 part per million (or 1 in 10 million) of lead. And that minuscule part is just something technically there. So there should be no worry about lead. However, consumers should focus more on the lid to make sure it is BPA free, especially many consumers microwave food with the lid on.

I actually don't know. And though I am concerned about BPA and other chemicals in my food, I'm not too concerned here because I won't be heating anything in it and the food will be in the spinner a very short time.

Considering that Baby Einstein has already had a toy recalled for toxic levels of lead (blue block in their Discover & Play Color Blocks), even if they aren't listing the toxins in their toys directly, they are a suspect company. One boy was suspected of being poisoned by these blocks when no other lead-containing items were found in the house. Besides, lead, PVC, and BPA (which you probably get more from in canned foods anyway) aren't the only toxins in toys and other household objects. Many have toxic levels of antimony, bromine, barium (Melissa & Doug has had two recalls in Canada for this), cadmium, arsenic and mercury. I mostly deny my kids the pleasure of putting any toys in their mouths excessively, but if you want to feel a bit safer about toys, try plugging individual toys/companies into HealthyToys.org or www.goodguide.com. You'll get a better feel for who has repeat offenses. I wouldn't trust anything a manufacturer tells you anyway. They have no intention of pulling dangerous toys or disclosing information unless they're forced to by law. Saying that, we own this toy, as it was gifted before we knew what we know now. The kids love to dance to it. I consider it hazardous for the kids to put in their mouths. I imagine it's not doing a lot of damage just being held. And it does play pleasing music :)

I can't see anything on the box or the manual suggesting that it is BPA free. I also couldn't find anything online, sorry. It is approved by the FDA though :)

Yes, it is BPA free, and it's delicious, too. Even my husband and I like to eat it! :)

Checking out the manufacturer's website at http://www.brightstarts.com/p-116-lots-of-links.aspx there was no mention of it being BPA free. I'd think they would let you know for sure if it were BPA free, so I'm not buying this product.

Hi Jackie, I'm afraid I do not know the answer! I just assumed it was lead free given that it is used for 'food' purposes. Hope my assumption is correct! Love the cruet though.

I would expect it would but I've never made baby food. I've used it to puree garbonzo beans (chickpeas) to make hummus and cooked chicken livers to puree for pate. There are two speeds and a pulse mode that should make short work of just about anything you can throw at it.

Yes it's lead free. You can not find any trace of lead in this pot, because you're not cooking in the outter layer of the pot. There's an inside pot that drop inside of it and it's lead free.

Yes, if you read through the reviews, the inside of the removable crock is not bpa free and mine has started to bubble and flake off, I have been using the Reynolds Slow Cooker bags in the pan which seem to work great, however, I DO NOT recomment purchasing this slowcooker.Answer here...
