Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I really wanted a steamer! So when I received this one for Christmas, I was so excited. Until, that is, I examined it further. It's made w/ a #7 plastic (usually polycarbonate), commonly found in baby bottles, microwave ovenware, eating utensils, and plastic coating for metal cans. Reason why it's BAD: Made with biphenyl-A, a chemical invented in the 1930s in search for synthetic estrogens. A hormone disruptor. Simulates the action of estrogen when tested in human breast cancer studies. Can leach into food as product ages. I called Oster and spoke w/ a supervisor, and specifically asked whether he could confirm the product was BPA free. He could not. He also told me to do what I would like w/ the info he gave me - either keep and use the appliance, or return it. I'll be doing the latter.
