MEC's polycarbonate stock was pulled quite a while ago. Everything else has been stripped bare (media hype rush etc.). Five days ago there were a couple dozen Nalgene HDPE bottles, a few clear and the rest opaque reddish (read: butt-ugly). I put my snout in one and got that old familiar HDPE smell I remember so well. But check out their website: lots of cool new products coming.

Like I said before, I'll keep my polycarbonate stuff for occasional use. The risk is likely a lot less than talking on a cell phone while driving.

An interesting link to a CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp.) web feature on BPA: http://www.cbc.ca/news/yourinterview/2008/04/bisphenol_a.html . Love 'em or hate 'em, the CBC jealously guards its independence from government and corporate interests, so they're not shilling for anybody. It's a bit of a hype-deflating piece.
