Is this teapot FDA approved?

It is unlikely because (1) It is made in China, (2) the lid did not fit the pot [no indent to sit flat and keep the lid from falling off], (3) I thought to use it for a pot of tea, but after heating the pot with hot water and dumping it - I noticed the inside of the pot was covered in black spots that could not be removed. I wanted to return it - but the company said I could keep it and they would refund my money. It is an embarrassment to have "English Tea" associated with the name. I threw it in the trash. Do NOT waste your money. Buy an authentic Brown Betty Teapot or other name brand - cheap price means a cheap product.

I doubt it's FDA approved. But that tends not to bother me since we're talking about the same organization that says pizza is a vegetable, they don't bother to regulate the chemicals in beauty and healthcare products, and they allow chemicals in our food which other nations have banned outright. So... with that in mind, this pot is glazed ceramic and it's made in China. It has concerned me about as much as any coffee mug in my cabinet with regard to its general safety. Wash it before using it and everything should be just fine.

It is English, so no. But it is a solidly glazed teapot and not made in China, which really important. And it doesn't drip.

"BPA free" is a gimmick. Read the science:http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/bpa-free-plastic-containers-may-be-just-as-hazardous/?&WT.mc;_id=SA_WR_20140813Don't ask if it is BPA free, but rather if any plastic comes in contact with water, including the lid where hot steam condenses back in. This and all the electric I have seen have this problem. Some stove top teapots do not have plastic at all and I would recommend those.

The product is made of food-grade stainless steel made in China, I do not know if it carries FDA approval. I do not believe BPA is an issue with stainless steel products, it is more of an additive that is used in the production of plastic containers or items.

Yes -- the bottom is stamped very small "made in China" and "Burton.Burton.". Cute little teapot, especially the butterfly on top. Only issue is the angle of the spout -- takes some practice to hit the tea glass!

No it is made in China. It is well made and we really like the teapot. Makes a good amount of tea and we have used it for some large tea parties.

I don't know for sure but my feeling is I would not because it is so delicate. Normallyif you heat it with hot water from faucet before you put the tea in it will stay hot.

Mine says it was made in Mexico so I am not sure about it being FDA approved.

I had the same complaints with my teapot. I was surprised that a big name company would produce a teapot with problems like you indicated. I finally gave up and it went to Goodwill.

It does not say on the tea pot. However, I would guess China or some foreign country. It does not say made in USA! It works fine and is bright red which is what I wanted. I have enjoyed it for an everday tea pot. It certainly isn't fine china. Ann Hykin

Yes. I love this tea pot! Use it every day for several years and it's never leaked. Definitely would recommend this product.

Sorry, I don't know, but it has performed xceedingly well, whereas many teapots drip from the spout after pouring this one is designed not too. I would google for the manufacturer website and ask them about its place of origin.

No, this model is not FDA approved, though it is made by a company with FDA approved devices that are available by prescription.

Kristina, Not certain of approved or not but it is an excellent blood pressure monitor. So far it matches with my doctors results exactly. Hope this helps you.

Despite what Amazon's description says, the manufacturer does not recommend using any of their glass teapots on the stove-top. It's even listed in the Grosche website FAQ as not safe so I don't understand why there is so much false advertising about this product.

I don't know, but it must be because it looks great inside. And water is sitting in it all the time. I don't empty it out, like I did my regular teapot that I used on the stove. I sure hope it lasts more than one year!! I love it.

Yes, it's fine for all types of loose tea. You can pour boiling water directly into the teapot.
