Sigg Water Botttles

dmhammy · 09-03-09, 06:13 AM

I was just reading about Sigg Water bottles and how their olds liner had BPA in them. I know there are people here who use Sigg so I thought enquiring minds would want to know

Thanks for this post. It looks like I have two for trade in. I hope they give us designs we like back. Shame on Sigg. These weren't sold so long ago that they didn't know better. I know they advertised that they were safe when we bought those. DH had asked me why his latest one had a different interior just the other day.

Turns out mine is the bad model too. Thanks for posting.

this actually really ticks me off. Those bottles are EXPENSIVE! Paying for shipping the old ones back is a PITA to say the least.

My original one is from 2005, think that's when I ordered it. Anyway, I don't mind paying shipping for a new bottle, they're so light it's not going to cost much, at least not as much as a new bottle would cost. And seriously, the bottles are expensive but I bet it's been paid for a hundred times over in use, so whatever, it's an expense that's worth it.

I don't think I'll ship mine back, because it's such a pain to find a box that'll fit, and then the lines at my P.O. are always horrible. Plus, the new liners may be bad for you too, so...........

I did buy a cheap ($3.00) aluminum water bottle at Walmart not long ago, that's bigger than my Sigg, so guess I'll use it instead.

I read about the Sigg lining when I was getting ready to purchase a stainless steel water bottle. It's one of the main reasons I chose a Klean Kanteen instead.

my Klean Kanteen!

I have the old model too; that stinks that we have to pay for shipping. The bottles were expensive enough to begin with!

Oh crap. I just bought a Sigg. It's brand new. Does that mean it has the good kind of interior, or the bad? I bought it from a shop in Yorkshire--I can't take it back!

i read about this a couple of weeks ago and i was PI$$ED!!!!!

we have ELEVEN sigg bottles! that's all we use even at home!

i can't remember the last time i drank water at home or at work, from anything but a sigg!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

you send your bottles back (after getting an RMA from sigg) and then they send you a code to re-buy w/free shipping bottles from their online store...

so as far as then sending cute designs... you chose which ones you want....
