are you talking about during the heating process, or after the fact of heating? how are you gonna heat it? i would say,, yes it gives off toxic fumes when heated. after it has been heated, and then washed,,, i would guess it would be safe. keep in mind that these are just guesses and speculations.. might wanna check out the MSDS sheets on the material.

Are you referring to BPA content? There is some issues in developmental toxicity in humans but the avenue of entry is usually soluble in liquids and drunk. So no, that likely isn't too much of an issue.

You are in europe? No the polypropelene is required under EU to be BPA free no debate it is fine. In the N. America there is still some questions but nothing very serious or likely.
