Does anyone know if the Winkle is BPA-free?

The post from T. Glass doesn't cite a source. But I was able to find the following. URL where I found it below the quote. "Katie said... I contacted Manhattan toys about the winkel. Here is their response. "Katie, Thank you for contacting Manhattan Toy, The Winkel is manufactured with PU tubing. As such, it does not contain PVC (phthalates) or Polycarbonate (BPA). In general I can't say that all of our toys are BPA, and PVC free. I can say that our toys are safe and meet the safety requirements that are put forth by American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the European Union (EN71). If you have another toy you are inquiring about, please send me an email and I can let you know if it contains BPA, or PVC. Best Regards, Tomeko " http://zrecs.blogspot.com/2008/04/zrecs-guide-to-safer-teethers.html

I'm sorry... I don't remember what the label has said (if anything) about this item being BPA free.

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

I would contact Avent & ask but I believe they are. Pretty sure they make all baby bottles,nipples, pacifiers, etc BPA free now.

I don't know if this product is BPA free. It doesn't matter so much to me because I use mine mainly for storing cheese, which I wrap in a bit of wax paper, so the cheese doesn't actually touch the plastic anyway. If I'm storing fresh berries, I put a layer of slightly damp paper towel between the berries and the container.

I don't really know, the jar says PETE #1...upon further investigation (thank you internet) it seems that #1 PETE is ok, no BPA's (no symbol on lid)

Yes, it says BPA free on the box...and you need to worry about BPA coming in contact with your food and beverages always; not just when microwaving.

I have read the front and back labels and there is no reference to the jar being bpa free or not.

I bought mine over a year ago. It was the darker one and BPA free. So I would only assume that no matter the color that is shipped it would be BPA free.

not BPA free but unfortunately there just aren't many BPA free devices in this class... the other one by Aroma does not seem as good as this one in terms of versatility.

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

The spoon is BPA free. Not sure about the case though as I cannot find the info on the web description.

I just looked up the information on Rubbermaid's website. It is BPA free. If you look at the link I've attached, you won't see it in the text, but you'll see the "NO BPA" symbol right underneath the image of the bottle. http://www.rubbermaid.com/Category/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?CatName=Beverage&Subca;tId=BeverageStorage&Prod;_ID=RP091888

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 :)
