NOT FREE. FALSE ADVERTISING! HAS A PLASTIC RESIN ID 7

Received my bottle today and it was BPA free. The bottle smells strongly of inferior plastic. There are different flavors from the bottle. The bottle contains code 7, which is considered a 'catch-all' category into which all other plastic resins are classified. This explains why there is no bottom view of the bottle on this list. Vendors intentionally advertise BPA-free when they clearly aren't. Here's what I found: How to Tell if Plastic is BPA-FreeIf you're looking at a plastic bottle or jar at home and wondering if that bottle or jar is generally considered BPA-free. Here's how: Turn the bottle or jar upside down and look at the bottom to see if it includes a plastic resin identification code (commonly referred to as a recycling code). The symbol has a numeric value (from 1 to 7) surrounded by three triangular arrows. If you see 1, 2, 4, 5, or 6, you can be sure the bottle or jar is BPA-free. If it's 3 or PVC, they probably contain BPA. PVC is no longer used in most food and beverage containers, and its use as a liner material for metal food cans is also declining. If you see a 7, you can't tell if it contains BPA or not, as the 7 is said to "catch everything," which all other plastic resins are. If you know the plastic bottle is made of PVC materials, it contains BPA.
