Product (food) safety is our number 1 concern. BPA (Bisphenol A, a hormone-disrupting chemical) is used in some "microwave safe" plastics. When heated, this has been shown to leach out. However, EasyLunchbox food containers do not contain BPA, and like some of the finest baby bottles on the market, our containers are safe to use in the microwave. Our containers (and lunch bags) have passed strict FDA quality testing - a non-required, higher standard that we choose to adhere to, in order to assure our customers of our commitment to safety. More about the plastic we use, as well as some terrific articles which go into greater depth on this topic can be found on our website here: http://bit.ly/aNchtZ - Kelly Lester, mom and CEO, EasyLunchboxes.com Victor, hi -

Not sure which of the <a href="http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/medical/a/bottled-water.htm">warnings</a> you <a>heard</a> — but <a>most</a> <a>were</a> <a>hoaxes</a>. :) Honestly, I don't put much stock in all the fear that keeps running around. Of course, I'm also a "<a href="http://pix2brix.com/sensible-green-building/">global warming denier</a>," so take that for what it's worth. As <a href="http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/">Lord Monckton</a> says, "When science is wrong, policy is wrong. And when policy is wrong, people die." Just look at the DDT ban (and the 40 million some odd folks who died of malaria afterward) for one example. So, I'm using my Tupperware and my Easy Lunchboxes and ignoring unproven "science" rumors. Besides, think of all the people (and whales) that die when glass gets broken! :) Hi, Victor, thanks for dropping by.

Not sure which of the warnings you heard — but most were hoaxes. :) Honestly, I don’t put much stock in all the fear that keeps running around. Of course, I’m also a “global warming denier,” so take that for what it’s worth.

Since, I have converted all my plastic Tupperware to glass ones. Given it does take more space than the stackable plastic containers, I don't think its worth risking certain chemicals leaking from plastic, especially when microwaved. .-= Victor hopes you'll read <a href="http://www.pinkishblue.com/eateries/moroccos-restaurant-in-san-jose/">Morocco’s Restaurant in San Jose</a> =-.

The lunchbox containers are microwaveable. In the case of the haystacks, we just warmed them up before we left and put the in the insulated "cooler." (We did <strong>not</strong> add an ice pack!) Since it wasn't long until we ate, they were still warm. Generally, though, I'd put hot things in a thermos to transport so that they stay <strong>hot</strong> and safe to eat.
