SIGG Water Bottle Company is giving $50,000 away... in Returns.
Aluminum bottles become popular when word got out that plastic bottles contained bisphenol-A (BPA), which was linked to hormone changes in the body. After claiming how much safer aluminum bottles were safer, the company SIGG found themselves in a predicament when they admitted earlier models well, contained BPA.
Ever since the news broke out, the company has launched a voluntary exchange program to exchange BPA bottles with a new bottles. As like anyone who has heard about it, customers are trying to get their hands on every safe bottle as they can. The company has a weird way of showing they're taking the exchange seriously by posting in the checkout page that they're investing $50,000 in consumers safety.
The plastic lining inside the bottle as lined with the BPA plastic, but now the SIGG bottles use an 'eco-friendly' liner for their products.

O_O Crazy.
great marketing!
i was planning to get one soon too :)
I don't understand why all the aluminum bottles are designed with nozzles so small. I would like to buy one that I can fit my hand inside-- so I can clean it!
They are good at keeping things cold!
how do you know if your sigg is affected by this?
@iiinfinitesimal@xanga - For information on how to exchange your own bottle, send an e-mail to liners@mysigg.com Information on SIGG's website is no longer working, but if you e-mail them, I'm sure they'll tell you more information about it.
Yea - Sigg is going to do fine - but honestly, it ticked me off. Did you know that their new 'Eco Friendly' liner is still a closed process so that we cannot really know what is in it or how it is made.
Really, do we want to trust them all over again? Not me.
That is when I found my new bottle from The Poison Bottle Company -- http://www.poisonbottleco.com
The bottles are affordable, stainless steel, and they have a poison label icon on the side - makes people talk about it. I have told a bunch of people about the BPA issues in liners and plastic bottles.
I think they are a big company and made some mistakes but at least they are trying to make up for it. If you get a new Sigg Water Bottleit won't have any of these problems.
