SIGG CEO is sorry
February 19, 2010I’ve been saying it for some time. The SIGG CEO has been dishonest about its bottles. Now the CEO Steve Wasik is admitting that he’s been hiding the truth about their bottles. In his article (Read it all here) he says,
People have written to explain why they are concerned about BPA. They have written about their personal stories, their intimate worries and their very honest anger. I have personally responded to hundreds of these notes, apologizing for my mistake, offering new bottles to make amends, realizing that my decision caused people real discomfort.
I’m still waiting to hear from Steve. I first wrote this blog because my SIGG bottle was so poorly made and designed, it had all kinds of defects. But now to find out that we’ve been lied to about a harmful chemical is just plain wrong. But Steve offered his apologies, and I accept. Now, what is he doing about it?
Steve said in his apology that he will,
Make it easy for consumers to exchange their old bottles for new, BPA-free SIGGs. You can still ship your old SIGGs to us via our voluntary exchange program. Or if you prefer to avoid shipping costs and lead time, you can make the exchange at your local SIGG retailer, most of whom are participating in the program. To make it easy, we will post on our website a list of these retailers.
Go ahead, click the link, no voluntary exchange program exists! It’s all a ruse in the wonderful world of SIGG water bottles. My SIGG Sucks…
