 Vert Disappointed Jan 26, 2010
I bought countless sigg bottles for my kids over the last 8 years. I spent the extra money for their safety. Then I find out that the bottles are not safe and the company lied. Never will I buy from or trust this company again. I cringe at the thousands of times I filled these bottles and gave them to all my kids. By the way Whole foods market will take back all recalled Sigg bottles and give you store credit. No receipt required.

 WE love these Jan 07, 2010
I have a 5 yr old and a 2 yr old. The older one hates drinking water and the youngest was a hard-core will not give up her baby bottle toddler. I bought them each a SIGG and solved 2 problems at once. The 5 yr old will now drink water as long as it is in her cool Hello Kitty pink SIGG, and the younger one realized her baby bottle was not as cool as the SIGG is. I also bought one for myself and use it at the gym or keep it in the car for longer trips.
There was a recent story on SIGG containing BPAs. This is if they were manufactured before August 2008. The new liners do not have the BPA in them.

SIGG put BPA in bottles and lied to consumers - Google the SIGG BPA recall Nov 20, 2009
Now that I know SIGG knowingly lied to consumers (including me in an email exchange I had with the company) about BPA in their bottles, I would NEVER BUY A SIGG AGAIN. I purchased a SIGG for the same reasons I purchase organic food, I thought it was safer for my children. But SIGG betrayed that trust. The company DID put BPA in its liners and lied to all of us. In fact, I've contacted the firm Caddell & Chapman about the class action lawsuit. I bought a SIGG to be safe and they deceived and lied to make more money. Now all they will offer is to exchange my BPA bottle for a new one. Oh, ya, sure, I trust you now. Just give me a new bottle. I want my money back and I'll hope that my kids were not affected by the BPA you snuck into the bottle. What a bunch of jerks!
Google: sigg bottles bpa recall
Nice looking, light weight Sep 28, 2009
This is the most expensive water bottle I have ever bought. My son loves it at the first sight. It's light weight, has attractive design. The drawbacks are: it takes a few more turns to open/close the bottle cap than regualr bottles. The on/off gadget at the top is a bit tight for my son. He complained for the first a few use, later he got used to it.

Sigg Admits BPA Bisphenol in Older Metal Water Bottles Sep 10, 2009
Stamford, CT: A trendy metal water bottle that cashed in over BPA Bisphenol concerns in plastic bottles appears to have a BPA products scandal of its own. Sigg, the maker of metal personal water bottles that are sold in 15,000 stores worldwide, recently admitted that bottles manufactured prior to August of last year featured an inner liner that contained trace amounts of Bisphenol A.
Water BottlesThe latter is a compound widely used in plastic food containers and canned food linings. Environmental and health experts have raised the red flag over BPA in recent years over the association of BPA with cancer. Initial concern with regard to plastic baby bottles containing BPA, has mushroomed to include the entire population.
Many US states have considered regulating, or banning BPA outright.
When the BPA debate heated up Sigg was already there with its high-end metal water bottle, and consumers gravitated to the product with the mistaken assumption that a metal bottle (an alternative to plastic) was safer.
It is alleged that Sigg did little to dispel the myth that bottles manufactured prior to August of last year contained trace amounts of BPA in the liner. "They were aggressive in responding to anyone that said they did [have BPA]," said Jeremiah McNichols, co-editor and publisher of the blog Z Recommends, which targets parents.
"(Responses were) very cleverly constructed to look like it was a denial that BPA was in the product, but it wasn't."
Elaine Shannon, editor in chief at the Environmental Working Group, said "Americans want transparency, and this company doesn't seem to understand that." The comments appeared in the August 31st edition of Advertising Age.
It has been revealed that Sigg began working on a BPA-free liner in 2006 and invested about US $1 million to produce its BPA-free EcoCare bottle liner. None of this activity, it is alleged, was ever articulated to a consumer thinking Sigg metal bottles were already free of BPA.
Sigg defended its position, saying that the debate in its view was about the potential for leaching of BPA, not the presence of BPA itself. It has been reported that Sigg's bottles present 0 percent leaching.
"I believe that the BPA conversation has changed dramatically in the last 12 months," Sigg CEO Steve Wasik said in an undated letter recently posted on the Sigg website. "Last year, the primary concern was that of BPA leaching from bottles. Since that time the dialogue has evolved such that now some people are concerned about the mere presence of BPA and some states are considering legislation."
The letter was summarized in Monday's editon of Advertising Age.
