Are the lids plastic? Does the packaging say anything about what the lids are made of and if they're BPA/phthalate free?

yes all the parts are bpa, lead and phalate free, even the storage tray. Also the glass jars are very strong. I droped one from about 4 or 5 feet onto a cement floor and there wasnr any fracture whatsoever. Theyer pretty awesome.

The lids are plastic. I never thought to look and I threw the packaging away. Did you try emailing the company? I am otherwise very happy with them. Great size.

Yes they are. There is a small pamphlet in the bottom of the box which states the lids are BPA free.

Actually, I just checked, and the lid is rubber--so, no plastic in that either.

The lids are plastic but as other people have said, they don't fit well. I ordered the set and 1 lid fit fine but the other 2 were much too loose. I returned the set.

They are not thin but not a thick plastic. The lids are solid green. I didn't like these because the lid wont lie flat and stay put on any of the containers. It started out as just one but now they are all that way.

I honestly do not remember if the packaging stated bpa/phthalate free but before purchasing I did more research and came to find all of their products are.

They are BPA free plastic and very sturdy... I've dropped mine several times lol. They are easy to clean and haven't leaked yet. I hand wash them.

They are a plastic/rubber which according to the manufacturer is bpa and phthalate free. My 14 month old loves them!

They are plastic as in Ziplock bag type of plastic. They are very reasonable and perfect for party treats.

They *should* be the silver lids. Ball switched from the gold color to silver a few years back, THEN switched again to BPA-free silver. I would be wary if they were being shipped from the Amazon "Marketplace" sellers, who might have really old stock sitting on a shelf somewhere, but since this item is listed as being sold and shipped by Amazon I feel confident you're getting the most recent (silver) version.

Yes! I bought 2 of these and the package says they are BPA, PVC, and Phthalate free.

If you look at other options for the same line, you'll see that the lids are BPA free. Glasslock products are all BPA free.

Can't tell for sure, if the lid is BPA free. Concerning question 2: I recommend buying 2 silver because the colored ones can not be cleaned in the dish washer.

I don't remember if they are bpa free. What I can tell you is that your food should be about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch below the plastic parts. They shouldn't touch.

They are made of plastic. If you have had problems with plastic containers before, I would recommend something else made of glass.

Since they are NOT made in the US, (these are from Italy) they are not obligated to tell you if they are or are not BPA free. I checked my lids and other than saying dishwasher safe (upper rack) there is no other information. I don't use the lids in the microwave if that is the big concern. I would err on the safe side and tell you not to use the lids in heated situations and not put in dishwasher until you are sure. I still love these containers and freeze soups in them and reheat in same, but I also don't have kids and I know that is a big concern for young people being exposed to BPA. Wish I could help more.
