We at Spectrum Home Appliances understand that there have been various reports and articles in recent months and years that raise concerns about Bisphenol A (BPA) in consumer products and the impact of such reports and articles on the purchase of certain products by consumers.
In such reports and articles, the clear focus is on the potential hazards posed by the migration of BPA from food and beverage containers into food and beverages consumed by humans and by direct ingestion or mouthing of plastic items by infants and children. Specifically and by example, the draft NTP Brief on Bisphenol A (BPA) released by the National Toxicology Program of the National Institutes of Health report states, "the vast majority of bisphenol A exposure is through the diet ~ 99%"
For products that specifically claim to be BPA-Free, the plastics and resin that comes into direct contact with food and beverage are made of Polypropylene material, silicone or other plastic materials, all of which are BPA free. Other parts of the product which do not come into contact with food or beverage may contain BPA in some of the plastics and resins that are used. For products that do not claim to be BPA-Free, we have insufficient information to support a BPA-Free claim at this time.
