Is this pitcher BPA-free?

According to the website, "all Sterilite food storage and kitchen items are BPA-free and phthalate-free." http://www.sterilite.com/food_storage.html

I don't know. A good question. If you trust The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), they said that BPA is safe at the very low levels that occur in some foods. This assessment is based on review of hundreds of studies. But since our FDA is understaffed and not keeping up in many instances, you may not want this pitcher. I don't recall a tag or information stating this product is BPA free.

I'm afraid I gave it to my mom a while ago because it was too big for my fridge, so I can't look for myself...but another reviewer says that it is indeed BPA-free.

I am not sure. I purchased it for someone else who wanted it. I never looked at whe it arrived. I'm sorry that I couldn't answer the question.

I found this pitcher in a Target store and it was marked as BPA-free. I have been using this make and model since mychildren were babies (now 22-28 yrs old) and have never had a problem except being stained with Kool-aid and tea or melted after being set on a hot stove or chewed on by the dog. It's reassuring to know that it's BPA-free!

BPA-free. The original Brita pitcher: classic design and Always BPA-free materials to meet your daily water filtration needs.

I have no idea if the plastic contains BPA. I would suggest you contact the manufacturer for the answer to that question. The plastic is a very hard plastic, not like the plastic used to make containers for liquids. The only contact the tea has with the plastic is when you pour the tea out and it runs over the ring at the spout.

Don't know about bpa. Top does not lock. It turns and has an open side and a "strainer" side like Rubbermaid pitchers available in stores.

I do not know if it is BPA free. I do know that the water sits in a stainless steel container. The only plastic part it touches is the heating element. Hope this helps.

I would suggest you research if there is a company web site. There is no marking on the pitcher itself.

The pitcher is glass and the lid and ice container are plastic. I removed the ice part and have never used it, the lid portion still fits into place without it and we found it unnecessary.

Yes, Elaine it is BPA free and is marked as such on the bottom. Great little carafe, I really like mine.

I wondered the same thing but this pitcher is definitely glass. The top is plastic.

The new version of this kettle IS BPA free. I know this, because A) It has it written on the plastic viewing window (however this picture doesn't show it). B) I also contacted customer service. They are replacing my older model (purchased in 2012, which wasn't BPA free) with the newer version that is BPA free. Hope this helps! Just make sure the one you receive says BPA free on the clear plastic water-level viewing window when you receive it! If not, the ones at Bloomingdales, Breville.com and Williams Sonoma do!

According to the Rubbermaid website, it is definitely BPA free. AND it's the best carafe ever.

Perhaps you could contact the manufacturer to find out. It might say somewhere on the packaging but we threw that out a long time ago. I'm really not sure if its BPA free.

Sorry, I don't know. But I wouldn't recommend to buy this pitcher. No way to pour without excessive spilling. Although it looks pretty, the design is very poor. Save your money and your nerves.

The pitcher material is Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN). We do not recommend that the pitcher be filled with boiling liquids as this may damage it.

No it isn't. It says in very small letters Hand Wash and Do Not Microwave. I hand wash most everything anyhow so it never was a concern for me. It's a very nice pitcher.

The pitcher is made of glass, so I'm assuming it would be fine. The lid however is plastic, so I would avoid getting it in boiling water.

It doesn't show on this listing, but their other sippy cups are BPA free and they look the exact same to me.
