I called the company and gave the model # and was told that all of their products are BPA-free including this one.

I am not sure. Check Proctor Silex's website. The larger capacity kettle states that it is bpa-free.

Even if it is BPA FREE, it has to have some kind of plactic, and very likely BPS, the common replacement for BPA. Bisphenol A, known as BPA, is produced in massive quantities around the world for use in consumer products, including household plastics. In response to public concerns, many manufacturers have replaced BPA with a chemical called bisphenol S (BPS), which is often labeled as "BPA-free" and presumed to be safer by consumers. Scientists have provided evidence that both BPA and BPS cause alterations in brain development leading to hyperactivity in zebrafish.

Yes, under the lid, you should see the plastic symbol 5, which does not contain BPA

I'm afraid I don't know what this means!! I've looked on the box and it doesn't say anything, I guess you need to contact the manufacturer.

I'm not sure, I don't remember if the packaging indicated if the plastic parts were BPA-free. It's not indicated on the actual unit itself. You can contact Proctor Silex customer service to get specific details on what is/is not BPA-free in their kettle lineup.

I am searching for a tea kettle and will bypass this since it appears that the water comes in contact with the plastic surface; after doing some research I've learned that BPA Free products have been tested and are not BPA Free in many of the tests. Glass all the way for me.

This is confusing and contradictory. Proctor Silex claims they do not use BPA in any of their plastic used in "food zones". That claim is made here: https://www.proctorsilex.com/products/bpa-information.php#2Yet when you go to their electric kettle lineup (https://www.proctorsilex.com/products/kitchen-appliances-electric-kettles.php) and start going through the descriptions you'll see that this particular model (K2070Y) is the only one not marked as "BPA Free" So, your guess is as good as mine but I would l guess that NO, this is NOT BPA Free as far as I can tell.The review the other user pointed to contradicts what the manufacturer itself claims so I am skeptical.

No! Proctor Silex has products that have a BPA free in the "food zone" claim, but this specific model is not included in that product lineup. The cordless 1L kettle is stated to be BPA free in the "food zone" on it's website though. I wish I had known this before I bought the product!

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.

From my experiences NO! Also, the plastic is free of all BPA's which you can get from other types of plastics. One other thing is there are different sizes depending on your needs.

No, there is a little plastic as well, which they say is BPA free. I'm sure you can call the company and ask to confirm.

no - these are BPA and melamine free. Their materials is not actually plastic, but a compound that creates a hard plastic like bowl/plate/etc.

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.

It is plastic but I am not sure about BPA free. I think I bought it before there was a concern about the BPA. I don't use it much but it is a very nice one and the motor will never burn up in home use like the cheaper ones.

The box does not say that it is BPA free or indicate the level of BPA it contains and the instructions inside do not say one way or the other. My guess would be that it does contain BPA in plastic.

It doesn't notate that it's BPA free. However, the plastic components are only on the base and handle. They really don't come into direct contace with the water inside.
