Some of us switched to glass containers. Others switched to other plastics, or to plastics thinking they had switched to metal. Some metal containers are epoxy lined. Kleen Kanteen got into trouble because they were confidently wrong, launching a press release saying they had no BPA in their products, only to have to backpedal a week later.

If memory serves, as part of their mea culpa they let people request replacements for their old products.

At this point I’m just doing everything to avoid plastic. Not completely but when i buy clothes they’re usually natural fibers, when i eat and drink it’s usually out of glass, ceramic, or steel.

i remember reading in order to make any plastic soft enough to stretch and mold (otherwise it's too brittle) additives like BPA are required. BPA is just one of many different options. BPA free doesn't mean endocrine disrupting free.
