A friend gave us another brand that had an epoxy liner. It smells and is gross to use. I have read that the epoxy can contain BPA. I think the Thermos rep. told me that there is no liner, but you can email them via this webpage. <br/>http://www.thermos.com/contact.aspx<br/>They responded ot me quickly. Also, you could just look inside to see, if the store packaging will allow you to do that. Klean Kanteen does not use a liner on their stainless bottles, and you are right to avoid the epoxy.

I think the company representative was trying to tell you the product contains lead without saying it blatantly and getting into trouble. That's how I read it. He recommends a competitor's product, which is rare in the capitalist business world, which is why I am suspicious. Good luck! Reusablebags.com offers many great products that are lead free, and they are a really great company. Thank you for all your comments!

Pretty vague right? Is he saying that it is lead-free or that it isn't so I should go to the competitor? Maybe this guy is just being a jerk?? I don't get it. “Yes I am from FTG
prop 65 is the standard that is used when measuring lead content.
this std. was established by California and in most cases is the std used by retailers when accepting product to sell on their shelves.

I would recommend that you purchases another style of lunch bag our competitor California innovations.
there web site is http://www.California innovations.com

thanks for your interest in our FTG products”

I did look into Mimi the Sardine and the Cooltotes brands, but I found them to be too small for me. Also, just an FYI...I just bought my son 2 Thermos brand straw cups called the "Funtainer". His has Spiderman & Lightning McQueen on them. They are stainless steel inside and out and the top is that #5 plastic. They REALLY do keep the contents of it cold. I keep organic milk in one and water in the other. I think the Foogo is the same. Yes any information anyone has would be appreciated.

It's not the Foogo though, it is called a "funtainer". They have designs on them (my son has one with Spiderman & one with Lighting McQueen from Cars). They are EXCELLENT. Stainless steel exterior & interior and the top is #5 plastic. It really keeps his water and his milk cold for hours (we were out for about 6 hours the other day). I bought them at Target, and obviously, they are on the market already. Also, I just recently bought my son a straw “cup” from Thermos. It’s not the Foogo though, it is called a “funtainer”.

You could buy a lead test kit for about $5 and test it. It only takes a couple of minutes to test and does not ruin the fabric. <br/><br/>Does anyone else know about this product?

I didn't know exactly where I could ask this question, so here it is. Have you ever heard of the brand "Fridge-to-Go"? I've been looking for a lead-free lunch bag/cooler and I saw the Fridge-to-Go brand in Bed, Bath & Beyond. I like the concept and the size, but when I emailed the company about the lead issue, I got a very vague response. The man who emailed me back even told me I should go to their competitor California Innovations. If you know that the Fridge-to-Go brand is lead-free, I would appreciate the info.<br/><br/>Thank...Jenn Hello. I didn’t know exactly where I could ask this question, so here it is.
