Is the plastic BPA free?

This is a glass pot. I don't think there would be any BPA in it. The bottom interior looks like stainless steel. I'm not sure how the two are joined. So far there isn't any leaking. It's fast and I enjoy the blue light feature.

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

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!!!

"BPA free" is a gimmick. Read the science:http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/bpa-free-plastic-containers-may-be-just-as-hazardous/?&WT.mc;_id=SA_WR_20140813Don't ask if it is BPA free, but rather if any plastic comes in contact with water, including the lid where hot steam condenses back in. This and all the electric I have seen have this problem. Some stove top teapots do not have plastic at all and I would recommend those.

It is a seamless glass pot. BPA should be irrelevant. Heating element seems to be outside the glass bottom, not in direct contact with the water like some brands (Tfal, etc..)

I just looked at mine. The plastic is not marked "BPA free" so it is my best guess that it is NOT BPA free. Hope this helps. BTY -ours is working fine and had it 4 months without a problem.

I just chatted with an Amazon customer service rep who checked their internal catalogs to confirm that IT IS BPA FREE! Hope this helps.

I looked at the box and it doesn't mention if it is bpa free or not. Maybe the reynolds web site will mention something regarding this.

no - these are BPA and melamine free. Their materials is not actually plastic, but a compound that creates a hard plastic like bowl/plate/etc.

Yes. It is plastic. But I'm hoping that it is BPA free. Maybe you should check with Brita to be certain. But overall, I like it. Water taste great and no chlorine taste. Just follow the directions when adding/changing filters

I know they are BPA free plastic, I don't know if it's this specific kind you mentioned.

At least when I purchased it .... It said it was BPA free. Ps. I still have mine. And LOVE it!

Yes it is free of BPA. This should answer your question: http://westbend.com/support/product-faqs/materials-statements/plastics.html

I have no idea if it's lead-free or not (im assuming since it's made in the USA that it is) and BPA is only located in plastic so yes, it is BPA-free.

Yes, it's BPA free. It is made of polyethylene and silicone, neither of which contain BPA

It is plastic but I am not sure about BPA free. I think I bought it before there was a concern about the BPA. I don't use it much but it is a very nice one and the motor will never burn up in home use like the cheaper ones.

Yes there are plastic parts in it. As for BPA Free, I'm not a chemist. There are no Plastic type symbols on it.

Yes, it is BPA free. I have only used the bottle to keep water, and good taste has ramained unchanged.

From my experiences NO! Also, the plastic is free of all BPA's which you can get from other types of plastics. One other thing is there are different sizes depending on your needs.

Sorry. I gave this as a gift. The recipient is very particular, so if I'm guessing, I'd say it is bpa free.
