I understand your concern and I have a similar concern, however, it's the best of all options I have found so far since most of our goods are made in China. It really comes down to how conscientious the company is about quality control and where the material originated. Aluminum, for example, may come from a bauxite mine in Australia, is shipped to Iceland for processing at Alcoa (cheap electricity, using hydroelectric from a dam built by Chinese workers), then shipped to China for making products. This is one of the best water bottles I have found. PS If you use sunblock or cosmetics, the chemicals used and potential health hazards are very scary--there are a select few who are actually safe.

I don't know, so I wrote to Eco Vessel to see, and will post the answer I receive. Here's what I asked: Hello - I gave you a good review on Amazon, but now someone is writing me to ask about the quality of your stainless steel, so can you please let me know how often you test the stainless steel that lines your insulated bottles and what tests are actually performed?They do say on their website that the bottles are made in China - see http://www.ecovessel.com/faq.htm

Not sure where manufactured...no indications that are obvious. BUT have bought multiple. All have worked quite well...that is until I leave them in a hotel or airport somewhere. If I had a gripe, I wish the top was slightly bigger to fit standard hotel ice cubes a little easier.

I cannot confirm Made in China question. There is only the Eco Vessel with "circle r" logo withon the cap leash and the body of the bottle.

It is made in Taiwan. We are working with Amazon to correct the error in the product description.

I wouldn't worry if it's made in china. It's solid steel, not hallow like all the others. If it didn't fit somebodies receiver it was his receiver. Trust me, This is the best one you'll find

I assume they are made in China; but they are stainless steel, not tin, not plated so they are safe. And I love mine, BTW; use it every day!

I'm pretty sure it's made in China. I don't have the unit here to look at, but I think I remember noticing that. Maybe someone else will know.

This stainless set is made in China. We purchased a set several years ago and liked it so much we recently bought a second set.

I buy it as per recommendation of a neighbor. He has the previous model. I buy it because it was 100% stainless steel. And as I know, it was made in Italy.

It is a WMF design and product that has been made in Germany for a very long time. But WMF is now producing several products also in China. I do not know if it is their own factory or if they order companies to produce according to their specifications. And I do not know what products are being produced in China, but I do assume this one is also made in China.Cromargan has to do with the specifications of the stainless steel.

Only an assumption here, since no label was attached. Solidly made with real steel, and very heavy. Magnets stick to it, and it's well made. High quality, so doubt was made in China. Quality of materials would suggest US.

No, it is made in China. I think that just about all our stainless metal products, and stainless steel contains chromium and nickel, both which produce hazardous fumes when being cast or welded. Safety regulations won't allow it use in many places. All our chrome bumper shops, and chrome replating for other things when I was a kid, are EPA regulated out of existence at least in So. California. How many cars do you see with chrome bumpers today. I suspect the rest of the nation is the same with respect to regulations that put chromium using businesses out of business or make it so costly they wish they were out of the country. In spite of it having been made in China, it was nicely folded (bent into position) and the burrs that would have developed from drilling holes for ventilation have been polished smooth. It is a very well made and functional product. The metal is also heavy and does not warp. Hope this helps in your decision.

Charles,I checked the company's website and it doesn't say where the safe is made... so it's a good bet is Chinese. I do recommend this safe / cabinet regardless. It's very thin walled, but perfect for keeping your kids away from things they shouldn't have access to. Plus it's real quick access to the contents if needed. I love thing and I'm getting the smaller Barska model for a pistol by my bedside.

It seems to be made of stainless steel except for the handle, which is hard plastic, and the glass thermometer. I have thrown away the packaging so I don't know if it was made in China, but I would bet it probably was.The clip on the back moves up and down so it fits securely on different size pots. Been pleased with this item.

I don't know. I do know that it seems like excellent high quality good weight stainless steel. I am very happy with it. It is the perfect size and very well-designed.

It doesn't say made in China-it is mfgd by DelMonte here but we all know we can't trust that either! At least it is not on any recall list....yet. If it lands on one, I'm dropping it like a hot rock!

I own two and I think they are made in China. However they are stamped 18/10 Stainless and it certainly is. Mine have no rust even after repeated rounds in the dishwasher. I use mine every week, never hand wash it, and it still looks new, that is why I did not hesitate to buy a second one.
