What material are the colored seals made out of? Plastic? Rubber? If plastic, are the colored seals BPA free?

The colored seals you see in the picture are either a soft plastic or rubber and if I remember the packaging I think it said BPA free but I think it was talking about the stainless steel. If you're worried about the rubber or possibly sharp edges (someone else commented on possibly sharp edges) then I would remove the rubber bit and before giving them to your kids you can take the mold and plate off the stick ...this way the parts also don't go missing.

BPA-free plastic. Now remember, you are paying around $15.00 for this item. The glass is high quality but thin. The plastic can take a lot of heat but warps (not the handle). Its a great deal.

Yes, the plastic is BPA free. The written material with the product clearly states that. Take a look at the manufacturer's website.

Yes it's BPA free. They don't have a suction bottom and they aren't microwaveable just FYI.

It is my understanding that the red part is silicone (not silicon, though that is an element of silicone). To find out for sure about BPA, I would contact the company. They have a web site: http://www.tovolo.com. I hope this puts you on the right track. Happy cooking!

yes they are plastic, but not sure about BPA free, I'd contact manufacturer for reassurance on that. It's a REALLY nice kit!

They are made of heavy duty UV protected HDPE made from post consumer recycled material. As such they are PVC free and BPA free.

I wasn't sure which Ball lids you were asking about, as I have ordered different ones at various times. The Ball design series lids with bands which are blue states on the box these are BPA Free. I hope this a help to you.

There is no rubber or plastic seal. It's metal on metal with a very tight fit. Mine doesn't leak.

It doesn't matter if the plastic is BPA free or not. The chemical that BPA replaced was toxic & whatever the chemical used to replace BPA will also be toxic. Using petroleum based plastic in food products is not very smart, unless you like consuming carcinogens�

Yes; they are made of silicone, not plastic (BPA is typically found in plastics, as coating in cans and on certain papers...like receipts with a glossy side). Not sure what they used for coloring the silicone, but I imagine it's pretty safe.

Nothing on the packaging said non BPA. They were just what I was looking for -hard plastic longer straws with the little stopper so it doesn't come out of the cup by mistake. Good luck!

I would REALLY like to help you - but this is VERY hard to tell - the imprint is just the plastic imprinted with lots of stuff on the bottom of the bottle and its TINY! The stamped numbers on the bottom are the only thing that is ink and readable by my (must be) old eyes! I am sorry - If I had a crayon, I'd try to take a rubbing, but no such luck! We do like these and I think that they are at least BPA free since I do not buy anything w/o knowing it is BPA free - but I really don't remember if this was PP or LDPE-free - I'm sorry!
