I do not claim to be an expert on many things. I expect other people to be and for the most part I trust them. Last year when BPA was all over the news as this terrible cancer causing chemical, I decided that it would be better to be safe than sorry. I ditched my Nalgene and picked up an awesome Sigg bottle with a sports top.
I like the bottle, but always found it hard to clean even after I bought special cleaning supplies. However, since I thought it was healthier for me than a Nalgene I accepted it.
Well. Now I learn that the Sigg bottles made before August 2008 had a liner with BPA in it.
Sigg was good and included pictures of what the different liners look like.
Turns out my Sigg is the old liner. If you have one of these too, you can email liners@mysigg.com to ask about exchanging your bottle for a new one. I think I’m going to contact them and see what we can do!
What about you? What did you think about BPA? Do you have a Sigg bottle?

Last year we switched our daughter to the Born Free bottles because at the time they were the only ones that were BPA free and addressed reflux issues. Then a few months later Dr. Brown finally came out with their BPA bottles and we bought those for our son. I drink my water out of a 32 oz glass juice jar. It goes in the dishwasher and everything. It can be a bit heavy, but I just put in the stroller basket and off we go. I need to get rid of my old WW mug because I am sure it has BPA--I just hate to part with it.
oh damn.. i need to look into this!
Yeah, I'm pissed about it. I've been using my Sigg bottle since 2006 and I even bought them as presents for my niece and nephews. I've noticed that the liner is flaking off, which means I've probably been ingesting pieces of the BPA liner. Argh!!! I just purchased a stainless steel water bottle, which is about as safe as it gets. But I'm also going to e-mail that address you posted and ask about exchanging my bottle for a new one.
You just can't win, can you?
Come see m'blog :) I hurrayed you!
