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

tbastress:

I did not notice anyone claiming that the "sky is falling" regarding the use of Nalgene or any other polycarbonate vessels. People simply read the published reports and many have decided to eschew the use of polycarbonate water bottles, as is their right.

I don't know what you mean by "reactionary alarmists." I do know that it's easier to discount the views of others if you can affix a handy label to them; a "reactionary alarmist" does not sound like something I'd aspire to be.

Do you suggest that these risks not be studied, or once studied, not disclosed? Once disclosed, do you suggest that consumers simply ignore the reports and continue purchasing these items despite the potential risk? If so, why?

SoCal, REI has a very liberal return policy; I would not be surprised if they took the bottles back.
