Yeah, that whole Nalgene thing is alarming. I was one of the first wave of users, back when all they sold were the grey bottles with blue tops--that was 10+ years ago in college, and I used Nalgenes pretty much consistently since then, up until now. However, I think I only used hot water in mine once, so the temperatures were probably in the safe range most of the time... but one can't be too sure.
When we were in the US in May, ktspktsp got one of the new BPA-free bottles at REI, and I'll be getting one of those as well soon, now that I've lost my last polycarbonate Nalgene in Iceland. Hopefully nothing in there will kill us.
How many of you baby-parents out there avoid using plastic bottles for the same reason? I have some friends here who are adamant about using glass-only, because they're so afraid of what boiling the clear plastic baby bottles will do to their children (one woman goes so far as to claim that the stuff leaching out of the plastic is making boys more feminine?!?!?!).
