SIGG Bottles Contain BPA

We are, above all, concerned parents who worry about our kids ingesting chemicals that have been linked to cancer and hormone disruption. We thought it would be a good idea to reach out to share the following:

The key safety issue with SIGG and other aluminum bottles in general is that they require an interior lining. Gingerbread Monkeys offers the Klean Kanteen as an alternative. Klean Kanteen bottles and sippy cups are made of stainless steel and do not require the use of a liner.
