Not sure if it's lead free or not. I will say this: the lid sucks--it doesn't lock.

It is glass so the bpa is not an issue, and they are being made after the ban on using lead in items. Although i do not know where they are made, so if they are made in China that could be a problem. I love the one I have.

I would visit their website and ask them. Good question! Here is what the Amazon site says: BPA-Free, lead free, cadmium free, toxin-free, worry free glass water bottle product. The company is Glasstic.

hi... It does not indicate BPA free on the label just a recycle code of PETE 1. which is a better plastic. All plastic still has a certain level of toxins leaching in if the shea butter was poured into the container hot or warm. I've purchased from this company before and they SEEM to practice the goodness they preach. hope this helps

According to the kids konserve website it the containers are "BPA-free, PVC-free, phthalate-free and lead-free!". However it doesn't specify if they are referring to the containers themselves or the lids. This may be a good question to pose directly to them to clarify.

I no longer have the package so can't say for sure. But I did read once that the replacement for BPA has its drawbacks also. I'm very happy with my Glad containers as they stack well and are durable. I also have the Ziploc screw on jars. This new generation of light weight containers don't take up as much room and work just as well as the old fashioned heavy duty ones.

Hi N. Alexander, Great question. Yes, all of our jars and lids we use are BPA-Free. Our jars are made of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and our lids are made of polypropylene (PP) both of which are naturally BPA-Free. Also, the F217 liner (the liner present in the top of both of our two different size lids) is BPA free. The F217 liner core is made of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and it's between two layers of solid LDPE. Here is a blog post on the Container & Packaging Supply company's blog about BPA and BPA-Free products (Note: about half way down the page look for "Not All Plastic Has BPA." to find that HDPE and PP is BPA-Free. Also, the second to last paragraph in the body of the post explains what plastics are BPA free.): http://www.containerandpackaging.com/blog/2012/06/why-it-wont-kill-you-bisphenol-a-bpa-and-the-defamed-plastic-bottles/ Here are two other useful links: http://www.livestrong.com/article/158674-which-plastic-containers-can-i-safely-use/ http://www.reuseit.com/product-materials/the-7-most-common-plastics-and-how-they-are-typically-used.htm Hope this helps. I'm sorry for the delay in answering your question. That is out of character for our company's response time. The main reason for the delay is that we as sellers aren't notified of questions that are posted in Amazon Answers like yours was. We do monitor new questions and for some reason we simply didn't see it listed. Please accept our apologies.

There are couple of seller list under this listing. I cannot guaranteed theirs but the jars we sell have special BPA free lids and you can use them for foods. They can also be waterbath for the jams.

Oh golly, I'm sorry, I have no idea about the lead. I would assume it's lead free, but that's just my guess. I really enjoy mine.

I checked their website and it says all of their glazes are lead free. One should expect that since they are a domestic producer of food safe containers they would be compliant with US law.

The label on the jar states "NO HEXANE". Not sure what BPA is but the label also states " no pesticides or GMO, not refined, deodorized or bleached. Love the stuff!

I don't really know, the jar says PETE #1...upon further investigation (thank you internet) it seems that #1 PETE is ok, no BPA's (no symbol on lid)

Are you sure it was Anchor Hocking and not Pyrex? I've heard of Pyrex exploding but never AH. Been using them my entire life. Never had any issues.

This is Teri Vitallo, a representative from Thermos, and I wanted to clarify that our FUNtainer bottles and food jars are made with BPA FREE materials. Thank you for your interest.

Not for sure about being lead free. They are made in China. There was a strong odor when you take out of plastic wrap but it goes away, I think it's just that way from packaging and being sealed. Hope this helps!

I went looking for the same info and found that on the model with the plastic blending jar they say that "BPA free in food zones: blender jar contains no BPA (bisphenol A) which i'm taking to mean that the lid DOES have BPA. Really unfortunate. Here is the link: http://www.hamiltonbeach.com/personal-blenders-single-serve-blender-with-travel-lid-white-51101.html
