I think the main issue is more than whether Sigg’s old liner was shown to leach BPA at levels greater than 2 parts per billion (that was the lower limit of the testing done on their old liner). Sigg made MILLIONS of dollars because people bought their bottles thinking they were BPA-free, and the company KNEW THEY WERE NOT. While the scientific community is still trying to determine the extent of risk posed by BPA, consumers have the right to choose whether or not to buy products containing BPA. SIGG was knowingly deceptive, and they cashed in on people’s desire to avoid BPA when purchasing a reusable water bottle. I will never buy from them again.
That is an excellent point. While the company did not specifically state that the bottles were BPA-free, they actually refused to give out information on what the liners were made of, denying that they even knew the real materials used. It was very deceitful on their part. I have heard from several people who emailed for replacements and have been told the company will replace their bottles as long as the customer sends in their old bottles.
