Do we know if the plastic parts are BPA-free?

Actually I do not know what type of plastic is used... however the only plastic part that touches the coffee is the lid/stopper.

I'm so sorry, I don't know. You brought this to my attention, though. I hadn't considered it beforehand. Hummmmm.

Good question, Melbee. I just checked and it does not reference that anywhere. At the bottom, however, it does say "Manufactured in China", so my guess is that it contains BPA. I guess it was not a concern when we bought these, because liquid only comes into contact with the plastic when you are pouring.

I can't be 100 % sure because I've picked up bits of info online, but it says that it is bpa free.. now I have to go check further.

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

No idea. It doesn't have anything that says either recyleable or BPA free. It's hard plastic.

Hi. I bought these, in part, because the description online for this item said that they were BPA free, so I assume that's correct. Beyond that, I don't know. I usually rip off the packaging and toss it.

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

I don't believe they are. There is no documentation of that. I would email the company to find out for sure, but that is something that companies usually brage about on a box if it is BPA free

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.

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.

Norpro's web site only says it's: "durable, hard plastic." Until they say it is BPA-free, I would assume that it is not.

Yes it is! I emailed the company to ask because I wasn't sure, and they replied saying it's 100% BPA free.

That information is not in the manual, so I called the Consumer Service Dept. and they told me that the plastic is 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.

I called the company and was told that all plastic in the kettle is BPA-free. Glad there are others who are concerned about this as well :)

I've looked through all the documentation, and there is no reference to the plastics being BPA free.

Yes, it is plastic. I called the company, and they told me it was BPA free; although, i did not get documentation from them.

I checked the packaging for bpa info and there is none. I would suggest emailing the manufacturer.
