I have been using two for about four months now. I haven't had any problems.
I did clean them out for about a week and left them out in the hot sun to pull the juice smell out. |

Thery're rated "food grade" meaning they don't leach anything. Read the arrowed triangle on the bottom. If you can deciper the acronyms.
