My girlfriend just bought me a SIGG water bottle from Target this past weekend. I really appreciate your dudilligence and getting to the bottom of this. If I had read this post before Saturday I would not have let her buy it for me and would have chosen a different company. With that said, I like my SIGG bottle and will continue to use it only because it has the new BPA free liner. I would be very angry if I had been using one prior to Aug '08

Hi Candace,

I agree that SIGG should foot the bill for postage as well - it's the least they could do. And by not doing it, they're increasing the boiling frustration so many of the customers are already feeling and cementing their negative view of the company.

I'm honestly blown away by SIGG's public display against it's own consumers. Absurd. And another very poor business move.

Hi Nena,

I appreciate you stopping by to share your fantastic piece on the SIGG fiasco! I love that you voiced what many of SIGG's devoted followers are feeling in light of their smooth deception.

By far, most of the SIGG owners I've talked to won't ever use a SIGG bottle again, but feel that the company should be responsible for their own mistake. They plan to take advantage of the free EcoCare bottle and then donate them.

I wonder if SIGG truly planned on the major fall-out they're getting??

Terrible. If you have proof of purchase, they should just replace. Or they should pay postage.

And here's a hint, SIGG…don't mock your consumers, singling out bloggers and moms, on facebook. That's public, y'know?

I've written about my break-up with my Sigg bottle on Huffington Post. Sigg’s greenwashing ways are an outrage, and even now, Sigg CEO Steve Wasik still can’t stop the corporate doublespeak and clouding of the facts, as you can see in his comment left at my Huffington Post piece.

In the wake the recent Sigg news, I’m reminded of this blog post KOR posted on August 5, 2008 as we set to launch the KOR ONE Hydration Vessel and begin our company’s “water advocacy”. In particular, we put forth KOR’s company values, and in addition to the oft-cited “sustainability” and “ethics”, we felt deeply about building a company with “transparency“. It was that same month in August 2008 that it appears Sigg chose to keep it’s BPA secret a secret as thousands of consumers rushed to discard their plastic BPA-ridden bottles for the “health-safe” Sigg bottles.
