I know you didnt post to alarm anyone.

Re: Containers made with bisphenol A chemical linked to health risks

Thanks for posting this, I know a lot of people say that since the baby bottle companies that use plastic with BPA aren't recalling them that they shouldn't be concerned. Maybe these companies will change their minds, if Nalgene can switch to BPA-free plastic, I'm sure baby bottle makers can too!

I would say err on the side of caution and stop using them, although there are plenty of containers containing BPA (including the linings of cans), and it's almost impossible to completely be free from it. But there are definitely safer alternatives to the Nalgene bottles- I have been using glass Snapple containers for a while now.

Also they suggest if you are going to use them, at least don't heat food in them, and don't use them if the insides are scratched up.

Thanks again!

Just FYI, not all Nalgenes are made with BPA. They have a number of BPA-free options.

how can you find out what baby bottles and other products have this chemical?
