One thought on Gaiam Aluminum Water Bottle Class Action Lawsuit Settlement
Gaiam Aluminum Water Bottle Class Action Lawsuit Settlement
It’s really disappointing to see another trusted company have a BPA problem. Hopefully in the future more extensive tests will be taken so that these companies don’t have to go through the big media scares, and more importantly, so they don’t put their customers in danger. I was very happy that SIGG recalled their products when the BPA was detected and redesigned their liner. They handled the situation pretty well. Let’s hear it for going green!
