The Swiss water bottle company SIGG recently announced that their water bottle liners were not BPA-free. This comes as unsettling news for those of us who turned to them as a replacement for plastic water bottles.
"At first, the company outright denied the use of BPA. In fact, when EWG and the Organic Consumer’s Association placed SIGG on a list of water bottles that were not BPA-free, the company berated them and demanded to be removed from the list. Over time, they stopped claiming to be BPA-free per se, instead saying the bottles didn’t leach BPA."
To save face, SIGG is offering an exchange program for those who have the old liner. The exchange program is available through October 31, 2009.
