is it BPA free? Is it dangerous to leave in hot car?

I believe it is BPA free. It is made of the same type of soft plastic Nalgene bottles are made of. I would leave the spout open in a hot car, just to prevent pressure build up. I'm very pleased with the bottle, but you should keep it upright when not in use as it does tend to drop a little if you put it on its side.

Yes it is BPA free, I called and they said all their plastics were BPA free. The tip drips sometimes so I leave it standing when not using it.

I do not know for sure, but I am fairly certain that nothing on it or it's packaging said it was BPA free.

I don't think so...it melted in the dishwasher and mine then started to leak so obviously it's cheap plastic. I would say it's not safe to leave in a hot car then either.

As others said, I doubt it. It is cheaply made. Thats why I keep out of the sight of the sun light.

I purchased this item (The white version) and cannot find any type of label stating that it's BPA free. In fact it's "out gassing" right out of the box. I have no idea if the product works, but I'm sorry I didn't do my research beforehand because I won't use a a product that's *not* BPA free. Well, it's a $9.00 lesson. http://www.wtsp.com/tryit/article/277463/22/Try-It-Before-You-Buy-It-MicroMaster-Pressure-Cooker

I wouldn't. Since it's made of silicone, most likely the guilty chemical is formaldehyde, which is a no-no for me in baby stuff. Though they say it's not released until silicone reaches high temperatures, but that can be said about BPA as well...

Hello...that is a good question. I don't know. It states on the side that it is heat resistant, machine washable, made in NZ. I would ask the company. I love it and use it all the time. On the bottom it has the 5 plastic. I hope it is BPA free because it gets hot.

Mine stated that it was BPA free on the packaging when I got it. Also, the interior of the thermos is uncoated stainless steel, which is BPA free, always.

Sorry, I don't know. I think BPA might be released in heated conditions. Since this product is kept in the refrigerator, BPA may not be an issue.

It's plastic, not really sure whether it's bpa free. We hardly used it. We bought a thermos that stainless inside work better. Hope this help.

According to their website, it is BPA-free... most of their products are, and if they are not, they mention it. It's a great product, I highly recommend!

I would suggest not using this product with hot coffee. Even though it is BPA free does not mean the plastic is free of all bisphenols. Although their website does say that the plastic is tested at high FDA standards to be microwave safe most plastics will still leech estrogenic and/or androgenic chemicals and high temperatures.

You can leave it in the hot car if you want. If your not on a trip I would suggest taking it down and put it in the glove box. Keeps people from breaking in your car too.

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

Just found this on the Thermos website: "Bisphenol A (BPA) is a controversial chemical that can be found in the lining of food cans, certain water bottles and more. Some researchers have linked the hormone-mimicking chemical to a host of issues including behavioral and developmental effects in kids. Thermos plays it safe, and has made a commitment to only manufacture products that are BPA-free."

I was wondering the same thins. So, I looked it up on Progressive International's web site. That web site says that it is BPA free.

It's made of some kind of plastic. I don't not if it's BPA free or not. If it isn't I am going to throw it away.

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 .

I don't think manufacturer would ever tell us if their product is BPA free. To be really safe perhaps is better to use steele electric kettles instead also may be we should stop using micowave or eat canned food.

Hello, The manual does not explicitly mention BPA free. If it was a benefit, I would assume they would mention it.
