(?) well, the sippers i bought are AWESOME cups that never leak and have a great design for easy cleaning by me and usage by my boys, ages 1 & 3. incidentally, the cups are labeled #7 on the bottom. i just bought two toddler sippers from nalgene and they were produced without BPA. i wish i’d kept the sticker label so i could tell you what the plastic is called, but it sounded pretty high-tech. i agree that the best route would be to eliminate all BPA use in all their products, but i’m happy that they have this new line at least without BPA. i was told by a sales rep that the only risk of any BPA contamination in their original bottles is if the plastic cracks on the inside.

Even Nalgene, who're taking it out of their products, say that BPA is safe and they're only making the move because of consumer concerns. It's so patronizing! Can't you just hear them?

I was sad to read your first post, but I'm happy to hear that #7 doesn't *mean* it isn't BPA-free...it just *probably means*...confusing! I agree with lindsey...that's why I made about 80% of my baby food, and now that he doesn't eat "baby food" anymore I just buy organic!

Just another reason to make your own baby food. Gerber has taken quite the hit in sales since this news became common knowledge.
