About Sigg
It all started with a simple hiker's bottle. Today, the SIGG bottle has acquired cult status. What happened is a success story that started in Biel, Switzerland in 1908. Küng, Sigg & Cie. manufactured leisure goods, kitchenware, and electrical appliances. The company relocated to Frauenfeld in 1916, where it helped pioneer the legendary tradition of Swiss quality. Since 1998, SIGG has concentrated on its core business: drinking bottles that deliver ultimate customer benefit.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can Sigg bottles be used for boiling water?
A: No. Strong heat can damage the outer coating.
Q: Can dents in the bottle damage the Sigg bottle's inner coating?
A: No, the Sigg inner coating is highly elastic. Dents cannot crack or chip the internal lining and the Sigg bottle remains perfectly usable.
Q: Can I use my Sigg bottle for carbonated drinks?
A: Yes, all Sigg bottle tops provide a 100 percent seal and will not leak. It's recommended that you fill the bottle no further than 1/2-inch below the lip. And before taking a drink, relieve the pressure inside the bottle by gently rotating the entire top.
Q: Are Sigg bottles dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, but because of the narrow mouth of the bottle, hand washing is recommended.
Q: Can a Sigg bottle be placed in the freezer
A: No, as this may cause the bottle to crack. However, the bottle can be chilled in the refrigerator.

I was looking for the PBA free water bottle and I recently bought two Sigg bottles from Amazon.com on 9/18/09. Unbelievable, they shipped the old ones with shiny coppery-bronze lining. Those bottles were manufactured before August 2008 and the lining has PBA!

If you are concerned about BPA avoid buying the samurai spirt from Amazon.
We ordered one in late October 2009 and when it arrived I checked the color of the liner
against the known bpa liners at the sigg website and this bottle had the bad liner.
Sigg has a trade in program until OCT 31 and I will be trading in my unused bottle.
Quite annoying to have to go through this at this point.

Breaking News - SIGG Bottles contain BPA after all. Sigh.
Older SIGG bottles contain BPA It's disheartening to support a brand like SIGG for making safer, BPA-free drinking bottles for kids and adults when it turns out that nope, that wasn't the situation at all. Or as the old saying goes, "we was played."
News broke this week that SIGG, the aluminum bottles we've often lauded as a safer, Bisphenol A-free alternative to plastic cups and bottles--and that my own kids drink out of every day--have linings that contain small amounts of the proven endocrine disrupting chemical.
This is the case with all SIGG bottles made before August 2008, and plenty still being sold.
Before you panic, there is no evidence that the BPA in the liner can leach into the drink - this is the statement the company has always made and continues to make. And we do believe them. My own kids continued to use their SIGG Sippies yesterday and will do so until I can get a replacement.
SIGG's assertion is that consumer concern has shifted from BPA leaching to any sort of BPA presence (which I'd agree with) and that as that shift occurred, the company worked quickly to address it by creating a new BPA-free "eco liner." Even so, we're pretty annoyed that CEO Steve Wasik played on the public's goodwill, by allowing trusting consumers to believe something they knew not to be true as early as 2006.
I don't know why he couldn't just take a page from the old PR playbook and say, SIGG bottles are safe, but we're making them even safer.
So do your own SIGG bottles contain the old lining? Look inside. If they're coppery and shiny, then yes. If they're beige and flat, they're SIGG's new eco-liners. Then it's up to you to decide what to do about it. It would be nice if SIGG would offer a bottle exchange, as TreeHugger suggested, but not holding my breath here.

The bottle has the old copper looking lining that you can exchange (10/31/09 is the last day) due to PBA leakage Tests have been done by Sigg and can be checked out at Sigg/exchange program website This has been found 2 years ago yet I still get the old stock from Amazon With the new ecoliner this liner still comes off although only cold water is used, from the early production at Sigg but SIgg claims that it's food grade and not harmful At least Sigg takes responsibility of its product and you can send in for an exchange

I do love my Sigg water bottle. I Love all the different designs that they have. My only complaint is that they dent way to easily. I hope that is something they try to improve. But other then that is is great!
