Our friends at the Z Recommends blog have a fascinating post today about metal-water bottle maker SIGG, which recently announced their bottles are BPA-free.
Funny story—this same company denied their bottles contained BPA during the great BPA ruckus a few years ago. Now that they've come up with a new BPA-free lining, they've admitted that, uh, the previous lining did contain BPA!
Hmmmm.

Are they going to do anything about the old bottles they sold with BPA, maybe an exchange like the baby bottle companies did? I bought one thinking it was BPA-free and used it throughout my pregnancy.

Thanks for the mention, Bargainers!
Kahla, they are swapping old bottles for new ones, but require the customer to pay to ship the bottles back to them. Then they send you a code to use to buy new bottles, which includes enough to cover shipping to you. You can email them at [email protected] to make arrangements.
One problem with this deal is that some of the bottles with the new liners are defective. Of course, they’ll swap those with you too, if you have problems… and in that case, they’ll pay shipping too.
We discussed this and some other issues with the CEO in an interview on Z Recommends today. I linked it in my signature.
