What type of material are these made of?Sorry, I meant to ask what kind of material the plastic is made of. For example: #2 (HDPE, high-density polyethylene), #4 (LDPE, low-density polyethylene), #5 (PP, polypropylene) or #1 (PET/PETE, polyethylene terephthalate). I would like to use these for homemade lotion bars, but I want to make sure the container is BPA/phthalate-free. Thanks!

Plastic, they are small and don't spread across the width I need. I would say use the empty container, instead of buying this. I'm going to reuse the empty one once it is empty, or buy a wider one...if your female your underarms might be smaller.

These are made of plastic. We absolutely love these for pouring coconut oil in. Once the coconut hardens, we use this on our face, hands, and even on our hair for a conditioner. It comes with a part that you're supposed to put on to have only a little come through at a time, but that doesn't work well with the coconut oil, so we just leave that part off.

I have my packaging here and it states "BPA and PVC free, made of 100% Food-Safe and FDA compliant materials." It doesn't state what those materials specifically are though. I'll provide you with the toll free number listed on the bag, though Amazon may block that out: 1xxxx888xxxx850xxxx0488.

Found this on one of the review posts: B. on PVC... "PVC is a kind of plastic we sometimes use in our packaging. In the clear bag fronts. Our squishy toys have components made of PVC plastic. The safety concern with that kind of plastic relates to the softeners used (the phtalates), not to the plastic in and of itself -- and those phtalates have been totally removed from all B.Toys. Our squishable toys are softened/plasticized with food-safe citroflex. Citroflex is a citric acid derivative contained in various foodstuffs, and FDA approved. We can assure you that all of our toys are 100% non-toxic. They pass all USA, all Canadian, and even the more stringent European toxicity and safety tests."

I just called Infantino to verify. They are made of PVC but it's phlatate and BPA free.

The CEO of Dash Company says the following. "The unit is also made from 100% BPA-free plastic." On the bottom of the Dash plastic containers is a recycle symbol with the letters PP underneath. I have researched and this is the result ---Plastic #5 - PP (Polypropylene)*Increasingly becoming accepted by curbside recycle programs, plastic #5 is also one of the safer plastics to look for.*It is typically found in yogurt containers, ketchup bottles, syrup bottles, and medicine bottles.Hope this helps.

Learning resources does NOT use bad plastic in their products: All products are phthalate-free, lead-free and are made of PVC and low density polyethylene. Our products do not contain BPA. Our toys are evaluated against the standards set forth by the Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). This includes testing for certain phthalates (a plasticizer used to make plastic soft), lead in paint, lead in substrate and compliance with the testing guidelines set forth by ASTM F-963. You can also read more about our commitment to safety here: http://bit.ly/LCz6

Yes. This can is made of High-density polyethylene (HDPE - recycle #2), and is Bisphenol A (BPA) free.

Hi, although I researched these dolls some before buying, and thought I recall reading they had safe materials, I couldn't remember specifically. So I just looked up some discussions on this. One customer contacted Corelle, and this is the emailed reply: "Greetings, Thank you for you interest in Corolle. All vinyl dolls are made with PVC... Poly vinyl chloride. As for toy safety, it is not the PVC that is of concern but rather the "softener" that is used. Phthalates, as a PVC softener, have now been banded from use in products for children. Corolle uses a "citrus based softener". Corolle tests the product to EN-71 the mandatory European standard as well as ASTM and many other world testing standards. Corolle is proud that we have adhered to these standard long before they became mandatory. If I can be of further assistance in this matter, please call me at 203.454.0774 ext 2. Best regards, Beau James" _________________ So apparently they have reduced some toxic items, but not all. I could not find any info about BPA after several searches. Maybe you want to do more. But I still like this doll; my 1 & 1/2 yr-old granddaughter does not suck on any parts of it... She already had a cloth doll, which seem to be the safest. I just wanted her to have a real doll! Good luck with your decision! Hope I've helped.

This is made using phthalate free, non-toxic materials - a PVC shaft and an ABS plastic base. Thank you for shopping with GW Corp!

There are seven classes of plastics. Types 1 (PET), 2 (HDPE), 4 (LDPE), 5 (polypropylene), and 6 (polystyrene) do not use bisphenol A. Type 7 is the catch-all "other" class, and some type 7 plastics, such as polycarbonate (sometimes identified with the letters "PC" near the recycling symbol) and epoxy resins, are made from bisphenol A monomer. When such plastics are exposed to hot liquids, bisphenol A leaches out 55 times faster than it does under normal conditions, at up to 32 ng/hour.*Scientific American February 19, 2008 article by David BielloThis doesn't really answer the original question.

The info on the bottom of the bottle states the material to be HDPE (high density polyethylene w/resin ID code "2") which AFAIK is a BPA free plastic.Also has HTP and US 1993 on the bottom as well,and it has PN 68C35027 on the side of the bottle.Anyhow I dunno where it was made for sure as there is no origin info @ all on the bottle/packaging.

The bottles are made of polyethylene, which is free of BPA. Polyethylene products have a slight odor when they are new, but the compounds that produce the odor are harmless. Zip-closure food storage bags are made from polyethylene; polyethylene containers have been used to package food and beverages for over 60 years and have never been shown to have any adverse effects on health.

I just checked the Rubbermaid website in the FAQs under these trays in the product section and THESE TRAYS ARE BPA and phthalate free. And considering that, PVC seems very unlikely. I'd email Rubbermaid if you need more info. Happy to help.

This is a response I received to that question and made my DIL very happy: Erin said on January 21, 2014Update: I wrote the company asking them what this product was made out of and they kindly responded with the following: "All InterDesign products are BPA free. This product is made of PVC and it's Phthalate free."Thanks everyone for your answers!Erin
