Two answers about plastic parts lists 'BPA plastic'; most manufacturers are going BPA free. Is this a typo? Should it be 'BPA free'?

I just did a live chat with Kitchenaid, and they stated (I printed the chat for my records) that all of their kettles have BPA free plastic on the wall of the kettles to protect them from mineral damage. I have read from many reviews that BPA free plastics are just as bad if not worse than BPA plastic when exposed to heat. Finding a safe/healthy option for an electric kettle is proving to be quite frustrating.

Can confirm that the plastics used are BPA free. I just chatted with KitchenAid and they confirmed its BPA free and that there are minimal amounts of plastics in the device

Right in the description it says "All Re-Play products are BPA-free, PVC-free, phthalate-free, melamine-free...and dishwasher safe" However with any plastics, its still a chemical. I do not heat even if it says they are safe As far as the product they are really great plates for little ones. I would purchase again. Hope that helps.

The plastic is all BPA free. Some liquid will touch the silicon plastic part on the lid. I never use the lid unless I put something hot in the glass. All parts are dishwasher safe and to make it last longer I turn my heated dry off. I really love this glass I use it everyday!!

I checked, and I cant find anywhere where it says BPA free, so Im going to assume its not BPA free.

Updated.YES ALL these Tumblers are BPA..I just called the company..From reading the answers here, and from what I have read:If its Plastic, its BPA..Plastic is made from Petroleum-Oil..I'm calling the Company, as I was going to buy this, but want to know its Not BPA for sure. As that defeats my purpose in buying this..

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

I contacted Breville about over two years ago about the plastic used to make their products and the Breville BTM800XL in particular. According to them, the plastic which touches the water is BPA-free plastic. After doing some research on BPA-free plastic, I found that the manufacturer of this plastic will not reveal anything about the plastic except that it is BPA-free. They refuse to disclose the materials which go into making it and they refuse to discuss whether there may be any toxins in it. They will not assure us that there are no other toxins in the plastic beyond the lack of BPA. I called Breville once again and they just kept telling me that it is BPA-free but seemed unconcerned about the fact that the manufacturer of the plastic refuses to disclose any details about the content of the plastic. Breville very quickly became rude even though I asked my questions in a respectful manner. They wanted no more discussion of it. I was very disappointed in their lack of concern in this matter. The Breville BTM800XL is a great concept in electric tea makers. It's all stainless steel and glass (safe materials) except for the plastic on the tea leaf basket which rides up and down inside the boiling water. Couldn't they have put in a little extra effort to use stainless steel or titanium instead of a mystery plastic so that no one would have an objection to this tea maker?

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.

I sent an mail to the company and received a response today: "There is no BPA listed in the MSDS (manufacturers safety data sheet)." I hope this helps. It might not be definitive, but at least seems ok.

I don't know if it is bpa free . I would hope that Amazon would be watchful for false advertising , Maybe we should ask them to clarify what in the product .

The product is made of plastic. You would have to go to the productdescription to see if it is BPA free.

When I searched BPA free and collapsible this model showed up... I assume that means it is BPA Free but I think I will call the manufacturer to confirm before I buy it

The material is plastic. I went to their website to find out if it is BPA free. It states that it is BPA free.

The next model, 7601, is labeled explicitly "BPA free." To me that means either (a) the product was always BPA free but enough people complained so the company felt it had to clarify that statement for the upgrade OR (b) the 7600 is made of plastic that leaches but the 7601 isn't. If you've already bought it like I did and it's too late to take it back, I would either call the manufacturer, junk it, or use it sparingly. I think heating plastic in all forms is a bad idea, but since it was a gift and is useful, I use it - but only now and then.

I think it's just regular plastic since it didn't say, so I don't think it's BPA free.

Hello Stephen; I honestly can't tell you. But if I had a question about plastics containing BPA I'd probably not purchase them. If you could contact the manufacturer he should be able to give a definitive answer. Sorry I can't help you.

I have no idea. It's plastic and not advertised as BPA free so I'm betting it's in there!
