I got myself a SPARK PEOPLE WATER BOTTLE to reward myself for working so hard on keeping healthy! Now, I love the design, the containance (a liter) and the lovely blue color, but I am not sure I am going to use it... or even keep it...
Why? Because of that scary label on the bottom...
Exercise is supposed to be good for you, but if/when you drink out of one of those "#7" bottles, you might put your health in jeopardy... So, what is worst? A sedentary lifestyle and clotted arteries, or poisoning from an exercise water-bottle?
Out of 50 states, only the State of California requires by law such a warning label; in other states, you are not even informed that the container you are drinking from could make you sick...
But is warning people of a danger enough? Wouldn't it make more sense to just remove hazardous products from the market when those are known to be dangerous to health?
