**i think it was last year when Canadian Government sent out advisory telling people NOT to reuse plastic water bottles and other containers and a few weeks later they advised again against the use of plastic containers over a long period of time as the coating comes off exposing the toxic material.

It was just an advisory and NOT a warning so most people still use plastic containers but do NOT refill/reuse water bottles. i would be on the side of caution and avoid using them until some research shows something to the contrary :)**
