Does anyone know if the Winkle is BPA-free? The packaging, their website, here on Amazon - nowhere does it say that nor what it is made out of.

Unfortunately, BPA-free is not the end of the cause for concern--it is just the beginning. It is now known that an alternative to BPA, called BPS, is widely used in its place, allowing products to claim BPA-free. BPS has been documented to act as a stronger, more dangerous endocrine disrupter than BPA, as well as more persistent in the environment. This toy has BPS if it is not disclosed to omit it.

How on earth did we ever survive our own childhood? I cannot believe I survived without a bike helmet, a ski helmet, elbow and knee pads in a world filled with toxic plastic, toxic air, and toxic people.

I came across this on a search:Manhattan Toy Winkel: Colorful loops made from soft, pliable BPA-free plastic, are easy to grasp and hold, plus it can be refrigerated it for a soothing teether!. . Ages 0+Also, there is nothing listed on healthystuff.org for that toy, so it seems to be 100% safe :) I got one for my granddaughter.

I just chatted with an Amazon customer service rep who checked their internal catalogs to confirm that IT IS BPA FREE! Hope this helps.

It's a metallic plastic, like you'd see astronaut food packaged in. As to whether that plastic contains BPA or BPS, I couldn't say.

I think I saw this brand as BPA free. Check the makers web sight. They ask them. As I am not certain.

I contacted Hagen through their website and was told it was BPA free. It's also listed on a few sites has BPA free but I wanted to confirm, hence asking them directly. You can contact them here: http://faq.hagencrm.com/ to make sure there haven't been any changes.

I just looked at mine. The plastic is not marked "BPA free" so it is my best guess that it is NOT BPA free. Hope this helps. BTY -ours is working fine and had it 4 months without a problem.

Hi, I was hoping the newer ones would indicate this on the box - but they don't. I called the company and asked for a print out indicating that they were free from BPA - they said they didn't have anything to send me - I am not certain they understood my question - as their English wasn't American English. This was two years ago - so I guess we should make another call - and maybe get some updated response! But I figure - hopefully not to recklessly that using my Boat once a week will be safe for everyone - but yes - I would love to have a guarantee that it was BPA free.

I'm going to have to guess no. There aren't any labels saying it is BPA free, and BPA free materials have a different sound when I tap them. This seems to be regular plastic.

This is my issue. I just received the item and no where on the package does it state it's BPA free. In fact, there's no company listing on the package, all the writing on the package is full of misspellings, grammatical errors, and nonsensical phrases. I tried to Google the company to make sure they weren't just sticking BPA free on the description as a catch phrase and can find nothing on them. I believe I'll be sending these back.

Hi, It has been a while since I purchased this and I do not recall the packaging mentioning BPA free. I apologize for not being able to help you with this question. I was/am very satisfied with the product. I hope that it will work for you.

I looked at the box and it doesn't mention if it is bpa free or not. Maybe the reynolds web site will mention something regarding this.

I know you posted this question some time ago, but I received the BVMC-TM33 today, 1/8/15, and the outside of the box states that it is BPA Free. So, if it was questionable before, it's answered now!

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 :)

I just went to West Bend site and I don't think so. I would email them directly. I usually look for BPA free things too. Good luck.

I don't remember it saying, on the box, whether it was BPA free or not. That might be a good question to ask the company that makes Food saver products.

After reading up on what that may mean, I do not see anything on the labels that say it is BPA-Free (which I assume it would?). One label states the product is packaged by hand the old fashioned way in their facility in Indiana. Their website is www.hoosierhillfarm.com, I didn't see anything about their packaging materials used; however, there is contact information that you maybe find out that way.
