On September 1st of this year, the CEO of SIGG, manufacturers of the popular metal water bottle, released a public letter announcing a startling fact. Prior to August 2008, all water bottles were manufactured with a lining containing trace amounts of BPA. According to their CEO, they commissioned independent studies to test their bottles for leaching of this chemical bisphenol A (BPA). They claim that their bottles were safe and did not cause added exposure to this known carcinogen. Nonetheles, it is a pervasive chemical and the last place we need to find it is in our water that we have spent time and money to filter and make safe from chemicals. Bisphenol A has been found in air, dust and waterways, but the bulk of our exposure results from use of food and beverage containers. SIGG has stepped forward and vowed to make good on their misjudgment on lack of product transparency. The public apology and information on how to exchange your old bottle can be found by following the link below to their website.
Act before October 31st to get this offer!
