They don't say what type of plastic(s), but if common PVC (salt, or sodium chloride for the chlorine and ethylene from natural gas) it is stable and no problems that I know of with leaching anything. Some PVC containers from China had trace amounts of lead and mercury, but I believe that has been resolved. PVC will degrade from UV, but will not disintegrate like other plastics. What that means is the exterior may fade that pretty exterior finish over time, but you could spray with a UV protectant.
Where you run into problems with any container is during hot weather and the resulting heat of the soil. Plants that are large enough to provide shade help a lot, but many herbs provide little to no shade and need to locate accordingly.
Personally, I think these are a good deal for being in season.

Flowers are not included. That's funny they have to mention that but we all know why. I hope we all know why.
They claim to use standard shipping companies, but considering how light these are, this is abusive.
