Plastic electric kettles are safe. They are easy to use and lift, lighter than other types, and have little to no risk of breaking when dropped.
Many users think twice about buying a plastic electric kettle because of the health hazards associated with BPA. When plastic comes into contact with high heat, it could produce BPA that can leech into the boiling water.
BPA is a serious health threat that can cause the reproductive, immunity and neurological systems, including an increased risk in Alzheimer's disease, type 2 diabetes, childhood asthma, and cardiovascular diseases.
Users opt for a glass or stainless steel electric kettle to avoid this health risk.
