Is the plastic BPA free? Heating BPA plastic is toxic...

I believe it would be. I have been using this and similar bacon cookers for a few years now and I'm still here.

After reading the manual that came with the product, it does not refer to "BPA free". I'd suggest contacting the distributor at:Corporate HeadquartersE. Mishan and Sons Inc230 Fifth AvenueSuite 800New York, NY 10001http://www.emsoninc.com/contact

It is BPA and PVC free, but I still wouldn't microwave with it. Not sure what kind of plastic it is, but I'm not a fan of microwaving with plastic in general.

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

YES, the plastic is completely free of BPA. Like most household beverage and food storage containers, this teamaker is made of polyethylene plastic. BPA is not used in the manufacture of polyethylene. People who say things like "Lethal, poisonous plastic smell and taste" about this may believe what they're feeling, but it isn't because this product actually has any "Lethal, poisonous plastic" in it.

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.

I can't see anything on the box or the manual suggesting that it is BPA free. I also couldn't find anything online, sorry. It is approved by the FDA though :)

No, it is BPA-free plastic and is able to withstand brewing temperature. I love mine!

Please don't nuke plastics of any kind. These are BPA safe but once plastic is heated to high temp it wil leach out all kinds of estrogens and toxins.

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.

The risk of leaching chemicals like BPA occurs when plastics are heated. This diffuser remains cool, colder than room temperature, therefore I wouldn't worry about what kind of plastic it is made with. Also just to clarify, just because something is BPA free doesn't mean it is safe. Every type of plastic leaches harmful chemicals. There have been a lot of studies done on BPA so it is most widely known. The other compounds that make up plastic are just untested. Who knows, maybe they are even more toxic! Try to use glass when you can, but I wouldn't worry about it in this case.

Yes, it is plastic & BPA free. I would like it better if it were glass but it works well.

You'd probably have to contact someone at Katadyn to find that answer. However, since BPA is only likely to leach out of plastic when exposed to hot water, it shouldn't be an issue unless you're filtering water from hot springs. I assume you'd be using this product in natural water sources, which tend to be chilly.

I do not know what the manufacturer would say but technically there is no BPA in them so they should not leak toxins. However it is my opinion that no plastic should go into the microwave.

Hmm. Great question. Nope. There is no information as to toxicity on the label. As this plastic seems to be infinitely remold-able I doubt that there is any out-gassing happening. The product is not soluble in the human body. The only danger I can see would be of choking/blockage so I would not want to swallow a hot/warm glob of this product. Children need to be supervised when using ThermoMorph due to the high temperature needed to mold the product.

It is plastic. Email the company and they can prove there is no leaching of BPA into the coffee. But also what's the fuss about BPA? It's an old story. Checkout what the FDA says. And BPA is NOT listed as toxic on California's proposition 65 - probably the toughest list in the world.

As far as I know, this steamer is not BPA free. I bought it and then returned it because I thought the food shelves were stainless steel, but it's all plastic. It was a cute steamer, but I didn't feel good about the BPA leaching into our food. I now have a completely stainless steel steamer by Secura, which I bought here on Amazon. It looks large, but it works very well and is pretty versatile.
