SIGG Bottle Return Offer

August 22, 2009 by Rachel Tayse

THANK YOU for the overwhelming response to this offer. The program ended October 1, 2009.

We updated this post with the SIGG Bottle Return FAQs.

We feel obligated to report that the SIGG company, a manufacturer of water bottles we previously sold, recently announced that their bottles produced before August 2008 contained Bisphenol-A (BPA) in the lining. A SIGG statement maintains that “The bottles were thoroughly and regularly tested in both the USA and Switzerland and all tests revealed absolutely no migration or leaching of BPA or any other substance from the protective inner liner.”

While this assertion may or may not be true, we remain frustrated that many of our customers bought SIGG bottles expecting them to be BPA free.

To satisfy our customers and our own desire to see the world populated with truly BPA free items, we are offering a SIGG Bottle Replacement Program. If you would like to participate, here’s how:

1) Send your bottle back to us at Baying Hound Ltd. 349 Tibet Rd Columbus OH 43202. We recommend shipping with US parcel post or first class mail. Include a note with your email address. We will accept packages postmarked October 1 and earlier.

2) We will email you a discount code for 40% off a Klean Kanteen, Blue Q, Earthlust, Nathan Sports, Thinksport or Guyot Designs bottle as a replacement.

Blue Q, our latest and greatest bottles

3) All SIGG bottles collected will be recycled or returned to the SIGG corporation.

If you never bought a SIGG, you too can save on a new bottle. Just use the code ‘notasigg’ and get 20% off your bottle order at www.BayingHound.com through Setpember 15.

Do the SIGG tops fit on the Earthlust bottles? I have several sport tops and it would be wonderful if they transferred!

Can we return a SIGG bottle to you even if we didn’t purchase it from you?

@tanya Unfortunately no, the Earthlust tops do not fit on SIGG bottles. The Earthlust spout is slightly bigger, allowing for ice to fit.

@melanie You are welcome to return a SIGG bottle to us no matter where you purchased it.

I am so grateful that you are taking back the SIGG waterbottles. I will be mailing mine to you today. We have six. I am just so disappointed with them and feel that sending them to you is a better option since I don’t think that I will trust them again. Do i have to send the caps or may I keep them?

Thanks so much!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Is this one per customer or can we send you more than one???

@Phoebe Yes, this offer is worldwide. We offer reasonable shipping rates for your replacement bottles too.

@Amy You may send as many as you wish and each 40% off code is good for as many bottles as you wish to purchase in a single transaction.

Does this offer apply to the new generation SIGG bottles. I’ve already exchanged mine at Whole Foods, but I’m so disgusted with SIGG I haven’t even used it yet.

How long does the offer stand to get a discount on new water bottles if I return my SIGG bottles to you?
Thank you.

@melissa We will accept orders that are post marked October 1 and before.

I have a sigg bottle, I would like to trade it in to your company. I don’t know what to do or what Web Page to go to for a trade-in deal. I am aware the deal is that I get 40% off a bottle of the selection you have. Please assist–thank you.
