I have a customer asking if our Rice Cooker is BPA safe? Does anyone know the answer to this?

Thanks!
 
There is BPA on the latches....if you go to Consultant Corner, type up BPA in search box, you'll see they're official response....they state that FDA has not yet decided it must be recalled, or something like that

We will continue to monitor any and all FDA developments with respect to BPA to ensure the continued safety of our products.
