Why aren't the recycle numbers (i.e., #2 and #5) listed on the bottle?
The bottom of the cup shows the recycle logo with "PP" next to it. All plastic with the #5 recycle symbol is PP. The BlenderBottle will eventually have the recycle numbers embossed on it for easy reference.

Yes.

What is the BlenderBall® made of?
Polished 316 (surgical-grade) stainless steel.

Is the BlenderBottle microwavable?
We do not recommend microwave use.

Can the BlenderBottle be used to mix hot liquids?
No. Hot or warm liquids may build up pressure within the bottle and cause the flip cap to open unexpectedly and spray contents. Some ingredients such as pancake batter may also build up pressure within the bottle. When mixing these types of ingredients, you should hold your finger over the flip cap while shaking and use caution when opening the flip cap. Always point the spout away from face when opening the flip cap.

I've seen different logos on bottles that look like the BlenderBottle. How can I know if it is a genuine BlenderBottle?
The BlenderBottle is a patented product. We have a private label program and produce bottles for many companies with their logo. However, the bottom of each bottle will always have the BlenderBottle trademark, website URL, and patent information.

Is the BlenderBottle patented?

Yes. The BlenderBottle is covered by US patents 6,379,032, D510,235, and has other patents pending (domestic and international). Sundesa aggressively protects its intellectual property rights. BlenderBottle® and BlenderBall® are registered trademarks.
