Q: I saw this warning in the description for other instant pot models: "WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including Lead and Bisphenol A". Is that true for this model too?
A: Hello. We appreciate your question. The warning on this item arises from the presence of small amounts of chemicals including Lead and Bisphenol A (BPA) that may be present in the power cord.
