That's news to me. Mine did not have any such plastic, or I don't remember it as being an issue if there was one.

Yes there are plastic parts in it. As for BPA Free, I'm not a chemist. There are no Plastic type symbols on it.

Not all plastic #7 has BPA. As far as recycling codes go, #7 is "other". Meaning it can't be recycled neatly like types 1-6. Polycarbonate is the main culprit for BPA. It has been used for a lot of stuff because it is clear and very strong. But it is just one of the type 7 plastics. Since BPA became a big deal, companies are changing to other plastics, some of which are still #7. Deer park probably will replace the big jugs made out of polycarbonate with other plastics over time. My guess is that Hamilton Beach made a quiet substitution and moved away from BPA in their newest products. Not all plastic #7 has BPA. As far as recycling codes go, #7 is "other".

From my understanding the older models contained BPA but the newer ones do not. I may be wrong about that, but it seems I remember reading it somewhere.

Both the bottle and the cover are #2 HDPE plastic and as far as I know BPA is only found in plastics with the #7.

According to bigberkeywaterfilters.com yes the plastic used is BPA free. I'm sure it says this elsewhere as well but wanted to give you a quick source to check yourself as well. The filtering system removes 99.99 percent of BPA which may be in the water supply you are adding to the system for filtering.

BPA and phthalates are plastic additives. PVC is "plastic." Since this is an aluminum rail, you don't have to worry. The paint may be a different story.

This question should be addressed to the manufacturer, I dont have the juicer with me as Im travelling but I will scrutinise it when I get home to see if I can see any indication on the plastic

People, BPA-free is a meaningless term. It only means that the plastic is most likely BPS plastic, which is equally a health concern.

I can't confirm the BPA content but the only plastic it touches is when you pour the coffee. It does not touch any plastic during brewing or while it sits.

Yes it is BPA free. I checked with OXO and they assured me that consumers' safety is a top priority during the development of their products and therefore all their products are BPA and PVC free.

What plastic exactly? It mentions BPA free, but are there any other bisphenols used? BPS, perhaps? Where can we get the exact list of chemicals? Any certifications from a European consumer safety authority?
