Rexim,

My take on the negative reports is that they are on BPA in general and not Nalgene in particular. Nalgene's position seems to be that because of how they manufacture their bottles, even if their bottles leach BPA, it's at such a small level that it is inconsequential.

This whole "The BPA sky is falling" seems to be reactionary alarmism. However, I imagine Nalgene's customer base includes a lot of reactionary alarmists. :-) Thus, their decision to phase out the bottles are truly a response to consumer demand.
