Plastic containers - which are safe and unsafe?

Plastic containers have a number stamped on the bottom - from 1-7.
I keep a note on my refrigerator listing which are safe and unsafe.
The online information is somewhat inconsistent, but this is what most sources say:

#1 is apparently ok but only for single use. Some sources recommend avoiding it entirely.
#2 is good.
#4 and 5 are ok.
#3, 6, and 7 are NOT safe.

Never microwave any of these.
