Gear FAIL: Don’t buy SIGG Water bottles!!!
Tuesday, March 12, 2013 13:24
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
“EcoCare” my %$·/!
The “old” SIGG bottles leached BPA. The new ones have
an EcoCare liner that is so eco friendly that it degrades and peels off even
when using water in it!

I was cleaning up my son’s water bottle today, less
than a year old, when I noticed that the internal super special eco-friendly
liner the SIGG bottle is supposed to have was peeling off!

Turns out this happens all the time. There’s lots of
videos on youtube showing just that.
Also Wikipedia says SIGG bottles have this problem. The word needs to
get out more. I know what you are
thinking: SIGG is Swiss quality, right? Wrong. They are marketed as such but
they are really made in China.

I wouldnt have a problem with a quality product made
anywhere but these are expensive, supposedly the green choice so as to not pollute
the world with disposable bottles and they end up making an expensive aluminum
water bottle with an internal plastic liner that falls apart and you end up
drinking it! By the way, I cleaned it by hand, the bottle has never been in the
dishwasher or exposed to high temps.

Anyway, huge warning about SIGG water bottles and SIG
in general. Awful product and pretty shady company disguised as Swiss tree
huggers.
