NO!!! Never put this bottle in the freezer. The water bottle is tough, it can be filled and thrown or shot by a cannon with only dents. However, water expands while being frozen and will crack the bottle. It is tough, and my Sigg is beautiful, but it cannon stretch like plastic.

I was very disappointed with the company too. I haven’t even tried their new bottles as I don’t feel they deserve the publicity yet. I’d be extremely surprised if the new liner was anything but 100% BPA free and non-leaching though, after the years spent developing it and it being made to replace the previous one. I too will stick with another manufacturer like Klean Canteen or Eco Canteen.

NOT SAFE, EVEN WITH NEW LINER!
I do not trust this company. The bottles have a chemical liner and the company does not disclose the composition. Some bottles sold still contain the old copper-colored liner which contains BPA, as the company admitted recently. The newer bottles have a different liner, but the company again does not disclose the composition and when I purchased my bottle, after thorough washing, I could detect a weird taste in the water. If the new lining is truly non-toxic, then the company should come clean and reveal the composition. I do not trust that the new liner is any better than the old. I bought mine directly from the SIGG website and their 30-day return policy is a joke (only store credit, $5 restocking fee per item, $10 if it has been used, plus of course you pay for shipping). So now I am stuck with a possibly toxic bottle that I cannot use. I recommend you buy stainless steel bottles like those from Klean Kanteen, which even SIGG’s research posted on their website showed that they do not leach anything toxic.

Sigg’s CEO just issued a statement revealing that bottles manufactured by the company prior to August 2008 had a liner that contained BPA.

I have used Siggs for my 2 kids for the last few years and have been very happy with them, too. I also like Klean Kanteens–I just bought a 27 oz one for myself for iced tea during the day. One advantage of Klean Kanteens is a wider top so you can fit normal sized ice cubes in the top. I just posted an article on my site about a couple of other safe reusable bottles, too, if you are interested in more information.

[...] to test, seven in total. Reusable bottles are a great alternative (we’ve previously looked at SIGG) and these plastic bottles represent many different styles and uses so it was great to test [...]
