but not all number 7. The 7 is "other" which the BPA bottles fall under.

Apparently it only applies if you drink hot liquid from these containers. Cold or warm liquids are apparently harmless.

I used to drink out of a water bottle that gave me a mouth condition that is hard to describe. Not open sores or anything, but just a lousy mungy discomfort. Primarily of the gums. I thought I just wasn't washing it thoroughly enough. When this public warning came out I checked the bottle. Number 7. Aha! Needless to say, I don't have that bottle anymore. If in doubt, throw it out.

Cheers,
