So in case you haven’t heard, one of the hottest buzzes around the ecosphere is the SIGG issue. Long story short…

1. Most greenies love SIGG it’s a valuable water bottle option when compared to disposable plastic bottles. In fact, I have written about them a lot.
2. Back in 2007 SIGG’s CEO noted that SIGG bottles were BPA trace free.
3. Fast forward to August 2009 and now SIGG’s CEO (yeah the same guy, Steve Wasik) is all, well, the older bottles DO have BPA, but no worries.
4. Let the drama begin.

Now, I already posted about this, my friend posted about this, and as to not rehash the topic over and over here are some useful links:

• Does SIGG Owe Consumers New BPA-Free Water Bottles? – I say yes.
• My pal Peggy a long time SIGG advocate is super peeved. Read her views in SIGG Bottles Had BPA Before August 2008 and here at Blisstree as well.
• Here’s SIGG’s letter from August 2009 noting yup we’ve got a BPA issue.
• Treehugger’s take: SIGG Update: Did We Get It Right?

I’ll end with this. Shame on SIGG, like green advocates don’t already have to defend green products enough. Thanks for making it this much harder.
