Some people are concerned that plasticisers (like bisphenol A, or BPA used to make the plastic supple and not brittle could leach into the contents of a reused container. Physically this is a possibility but the amounts involved are extremely small, and even smaller when dealing with cold, rather than hot, contents. The scientific community has not agreed on this question.
To reduce their potential for exposure, consumers who are concerned can rinse empty bottles with hot water before adding cold contents for storage, and reuse bottles only a few times.

If you try to freeze water, juice or other liquids in a closed plastic container without leaving room for expansion, your container will crack or burst. I fill plastic bottles or jugs with liquid, leaving plenty of room at the top for expansion. Once the liquid is frozen, then you can safely tighten the lid and then when you want to take it off use warm water to wash it then take it off.The reason why it's a bad idea to freeze water in a sealed plastic container is because the container can break.
