Are the straws bpa free, or just the tumblers?

Don't know for sure about the straw, but I often use disposable straws anyway (just remember to get the extra long ones or they don't work). The hard straws are a lot harder to keep clean - even soaking them doesn't always clean the inside surface enough to suit me. Have used pipe cleaners more than once to remove stubborn stuff.

Mine go through the dishwasher just fine. According the product description, they are BPA-free. I love mine.

The straw is made out of BPA free plastic, you simply take the top and straw apart, and rinse it out, or you can soak it in soapy water to make sure it's clean. I just use some hot water quickly to rinse the flip top and the straw. No, you do not have to keep replacing it.

The straw is silicone. Pretty durable, I've had to get onto my kid a time or two about chewing on it-no damage done. Thermos web site sells replacement straws if you ever did need 1. My ONLY complaint is how easy they get scratched up. I carry mine around all day, work and home and the pretty design is scratched all to pieces. My daughter takes hers to school. Can only imagine what it's gonna look like by the end of the year. It keeps a drink colder than anything I have ever carried though! The flip top/spill proof lid is awesome. Over all I really do love it...even though its startin to look a little shabby. Hope this helps! The straw is silicone.

I just talked with customer service on the phone, and she told me that they are BPA-free. They're made of polypropylene plastic.

Updated.YES ALL these Tumblers are BPA..I just called the company..From reading the answers here, and from what I have read:If its Plastic, its BPA..Plastic is made from Petroleum-Oil..I'm calling the Company, as I was going to buy this, but want to know its Not BPA for sure. As that defeats my purpose in buying this..

I really like the straws, but they are glass and can break. I've dropped a couple on my slate floor and they have shattered. The company is good about their warranty and will replace promptly when sent back to them.

It does not say BPA free on the cup. It has a number 2 inside the recycling symbol on the bottom of the cup.

All four tumblers and lids. No straws. I absolutely love these cups! I use them all the time.

I do recall. I love them though. I used them with my daughter as well. I know they're BPA free and dishwasher safe. Try calling the company?

I know they are BPA free plastic, I don't know if it's this specific kind you mentioned.

I no longer have the box, and it doesn't say on the product, but I went to the rubbermaid site and they are listed as bpa free. many of the rubbermaid products are bpa free.

The straws are plastic. Not paper like the little ones. All the kids loved them of course!

I'm uncertain as I discarded the packaging. But I recall checking to see if there is BPA and as far as I can remember they are BPA free. The plastic is pretty rigid with solid colors - nothing clear. Perhaps someone with packaging can answer for certain.

The lids are the only piece that are plastic, thus the only reason it would be labeled BPA free is if the lids are BPA free. BPA is not used in manufacturing glass. So... yes, the lids are BPA free.

The straws are stainless steel and are a silver color. I am very happy with them. Well worth the money spent.

Yes, they are BPA free. I love mine -- except they will crack if dropped on a hard surface. The crack hasn't shown any effect on keeping beverages hot or cold.
