In reply to REI Pulling Polycarbonate Bottles; U.S. Draft Report says BPA Might Present Risks posted by Trailspace on April 21, 2008 at 1:18:00 pm EDT

I notice that they describe their decision to phase out polycarbonate bottles as a "response to consumer demand." Although they mention BPA, they do not mention the several reports that have found evidence of adverse health effects. Nevertheless, despite their unwillingness to cite to negative studies, I applaud Nalgene for being out front and making a quick decision to stop production.

A new REI store is opening in Ann Arbor, Michigan, next week, and advertising a "special edition 32 ounce Nalgene water bottle" to the first 200 through the door. I'll be interested in seeing what they do about that.
