What are the spouts made of, plastic or metal? Do they have lead or BPA in them? Thanks!

The spout is metal. Sorry I can't say if they contain lead or BPA... My HewIett-Packard 57-10A duaI-coIumn gas chromatograph with fIame anaIysation detectors is on the fritz.

The spouts are plastic with a thin, gold metal overlay (it's like a gold tin). I can't say about the BPA or lead-free status of them.

The spout is plastic, however, it is a very strong plastic and seems to be very sturdy.

If I remember correctly, the threaded part is metal, but the rest of the inside of the spout is all plastic.

They are made out of Silicone. Mine also leaked goo but i was able to easily get replacements and now i love them!

They are plastic. I have had this for a month now with no problems at all. I don't crank down on the fittings when I tighten them however

I can't say for certain since it has been several months since I installed the spout. I know if the majority was plastic parts I would have returned it. I am pleased with the quality for the price as I did return a cheaply made spout ( a different brand).

BPA free sturdy plastic. I don't think you will be disappointed in these. They are awesome and would make a great wedding shower gift. I use mine all the time.

These are complex plastics made from petroleum and some are toxic. The fittings are usually polypropylene with low toxicity (most of these products are made in China so you can expect some lead and other contaminates in almost every product they sell- especially pet food!); garden hoses are another thing. If the company does not advertise "okay for potable water" I wouldn't drink or run drinking water through it.

Plastic. I bought two sets - one as a Christmas gift and one for myself, so I handle the cups often and I'm happy with them.

I don't think they are plastic. I. Think they are metal on the base but it may be something else we. It's hard to tell. The very bottom may be plastic.

They are plastic. It is kind of thin so be gentle with them. I have made 3 batches with them and they are still holding up.

The spigot is plastic. I do worry about that but it works well and doesn't leak. It is the only negative about this beautiful beverage jar dispenser. The stand and lid are chromed metal.

I believe silicone. Either way, it's a soft flexible spout. Not a hard plastic.

The spout is plastic. There is also a plastic connector near the spout. We choose to neutralize any possible affects

I believe they are plastic. Don't have it in front of me. I've give it to two baby boys and both have absolutely loved it. Has become their absolute favorite!!

yes they are plastic, but not sure about BPA free, I'd contact manufacturer for reassurance on that.It's a REALLY nice kit!
