 Paint is chipping Jul 01, 2010
This bottle really is cute, but the paint started chipping within a few months, including near the mouth of the bottle where it's easy to ingest it. For bottles that are relatively pricey and intended for kids, I would have expected it to hold up much longer. Cute design, but poor quality.
 Don't buy this!!! Feb 18, 2010
When I bought this bottles from amazon I did a search for BPA free, and this bottles came up. All this time I thought they where until yesterday when I read and article in a magazine [...]
When I call amazon they toll me to contact the manufacture; the manufacture Sigg accepted returns until October of 2009 of all the bottles they manufacture before August of 2008; They wont change the bottles anymore or give me a refund.
I have now two bottles that contain BPA which is toxic and I wont use them ever again.
When I call amazon costumer service again they toll me they can't do anything.
After October 2009 Sigg change the liner which the said is 100% BPA- and phthalate-free.
Do we believe or not?.
 So Cute Feb 10, 2010
I bought this bottle for our 10 month old, and he loves it. He drinks from it, no problem, although sometimes the water comes out a little quick. The only thing is, he doesn't know how to open or close it, but that's no big deal. And so cute. I got the safari and he loves to turn the bottle around to see the different animals.
 no more top... Jan 14, 2010
I bought this bottle for my 2 year old and she likes it, we only use it for water. we only had the bottle a few days and my daughter dropped it on carpeted floor and the plastic cover broke off. It didn't break at the hinge, the plastic split and broke most of the top off so I had to take plyers to get the remaining sharp plastic off. It still works fine, but the tops should be more sturdy since they are made specifically for kids...

Even Patagonia Dropped Them Nov 05, 2009
When I found out about the BPA deception from SIGG, I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. I went ahead and shipped back my old bottles to SIGG, at my cost, for an exchange. I have friends who just threw their bottles away because of their distrust of SIGG. Over a month later, I received an e-mail with a gift code to order replacements. The replacement order and customer service was a fiasco. It took several e-mails, phone calls, and over 3 weeks to resolve.
If you aren't aware of the scandal, all SIGG bottles before August of 2008 have BPA liners. When SIGG was asked during that time, if their bottles or liners contained BPA, SIGG reps carefully worded their response to assure the public that their bottles did not. It wasn't until SIGG quietly released their new liners and an investigative report revealed their lie, did SIGG finally come clean. Patagonia, the outdoor company, was lied to in their face by SIGG. Patagonia was so upset by SIGG's deceit, that they returned ALL SIGG bottles, including ones with the new liners, back to SIGG to be recycled.
Not only are SIGG bottles not as safe as everyone thought (including Oprah), but the company itself has burned the trust of consumers and retail partners with their deception. Fortunately for us, real BPA-free alternatives do exist. I personally own 2 Camelbak plastic bottles that use the Tritan material, which is BPA-free. If you want metal bottles, Camelbak makes them with medical grade stainless steel. Klean Kanteen also uses medical grade stainless steel but does contain nickel and is also made in China, which apparently a lot of people have a problem with. Personally, I'll be trying the Klean Kanteen bottles soon.
Knowing what we know now, I cannot imagine anyone trusting this brand or company again. I certainly am through being a supporter and customer. If you want more information, feel free to Google "SIGG BPA" and you'll be inundated with negative press. The number of articles speaks volumes of the outrage SIGG has caused. Be safe everyone!
