Tupperware seems to think it is safe, [link] though of course they would. Other people seem to agree though. [link] [link] (except for Ice Prism pitchers).

The current rubbermade stuff should be marked on the bottom, and they have a list of BPA/non-BPA products here [link]
thank you! I will need a minute to come up with another task for you to do, SOMEONE ELSE - keep Perkins busy!
I'm going to go get lunch, so you have some time.

\\o/!
Strict Scrutiny, BABY!
I too got the feeling Keith was weighing whether it was worth getting bleeped(I love him so much, but his brain is funny...he says "crap" all the time without compunction, which left me foolishly shocked the first time I heard it, but he didn't want to have a Namond moment(Named after the kid on the Wire who tells Bunny Colvin "With all due respect, sir, fuck you," in a moment of anger. KO, embrace your inner Namond. We got your back. (I also feel there is a personal story to that one he didn't share.)
