Not worth the risk if you ask me. Sure there are lots of things that can cause cancer but I want to try and minimize the risk to my kids as much as possible.
everything poses a risk of something eg: rite now your reading this on a screen that may be linked to causing brain tumors and eye problems, lol but millions of people still stare at a computer screen all day.

The site I mentioned above also has a whole lot of information on Plastics.
2 is the Plastics Identification code for HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), which is a comonly used plastic and is recyclable.
It is the Number 7's which are raising some of the concerns as these are a mixture. However the 7 is the recognised symbol for all 'other' types of plastic and this includes biodegradable types of plastic so just because it has a 7 on it doesn't necessarily mean it is Polycarbonate.
Found this which gives a guide to what the numbers mean
Check out the link to the Plastic Myths site as well assome of these are quite funny (ie the number on the bottom of the bottle indicates the number of times you can use it - ha ha ha) http://www.plasticsmythbuster.org/
