I thought recycle #7 was bad - meaning BPA??? Can anyone clear this up? This bottle doesn't say BPA-free on it anywhere but can I still assume it is so?

Grammar corrected, and FYI, #7 means it's not the old-style of Lexan bottles which were, I believe, labeled #5. Thanks Laura!

#7 is the "other" category, meaning a wide range of materials can fall within it. The Tritan material Nalgene uses is a copolyester and does not contain BPA. Also, the last sentence of the product description may use poor grammer, but it still says: "it's doesn't have BPA."
