Sigg Traveler Water Bottle - 1.0 L
FYI: Paint will chip off the top & end up in your stomach!!!

So all these fancy colors & designs are not what I want, I exchanged my old BPA lines Sigg bottles for this one (except 1.5 liter version) & after 5 days the paint was chipping off the lip & into my stomach! Awesome, what a deal!!!
There is even paint specs in the liner & those have been coming off (I WONDER WHERE THEY END UP?).
Why don't they paint up to an inch below the lip so you don't get paint in your stomach?
And why do they have paint specs in the thread, do they just spray paint these things?
Not happy & not using Sigg anymore!!!

ADDENDUM: I must add that Sigg has some serious people working their & they care deeply about the quality of their product & THEY WERE VERY RESPONSIVE TO MY COMPLAINT ABOUT THE PAINT. So I'm going to try a full metal version with no shiny paint or fancy designs... ...so I'll be back to let y'all know how that went. Just be aware of the paint issue, I would rather have the ugliest metal water bottle in the world (if it is easy to clean & won't leach toxins into my body) versus having a bottle that looks good!
