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.

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.

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!

YES made in China. Horrible Quality. Do noy buy it. Pay a little more and get a real stainless one.

Yep - mine says Made In China also. I hadn't really paid attention until you posted...... Have to watch and see how it performs.

It is made in China . Virtually the only domestic manufacturer of stainless steel cookware is All-Clad .

These are made in China. They appear to be decent quality stainless, clean easily and are supposedly made in an environmentally friendly supervised factory. I do have to say that I needed a new lid handle insert because after using it, it has deformed and they no longer fit together, and have written their "customer service" 5 times and gotten no where. Basically NON existent customer service or warranty support. Just be aware

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!

Like the overwhelming majority of travel mugs, the Top Notch Stainless Steel Travel Mug is manufactured in China. Thanks for your interest.

I have a few that say "German stainless steel" and made in Thailand, and a few that don't mention what country they are made in. Some say made in China.

It was made in China, but I am happy with its performance. I have cross-referenced the readings I get with the National Weather Service site and they are within a degree or mph of what I get from the Ambient Weather WM.

I called the company this morning. The glass is made in Germany, the stainless steel strap around the glass is made in the USA, the lid is polypropolene plastic made in China and the handle is phenolic plastic made in China. All the parts are assembled in the USA. I am torn as to whether or not to buy this. Some indications are that the phenolic plastic handle is not safe if it gets too hot. But I cannot find a definitive answer to that.

According to the company's web page: "Q: Where are StainlessLUX products manufactured?A: The raw materials are from Taiwan, South Korea, China and Japan. The production and packaging of various lines of StainlessLUX products are done in China. Some packaging and labeling work are done in the U.S." I am very happy with this product even though they aren't manufactured in the US.

The material appears safe to me. I am not sure if it is made in China. I haven't had any problems with it.

The only metal bottle on the market made entirely in America comes from Liberty Bottleworks. It's an aluminum bottle though. All stainless steel containers on the market are made in China except for Sigg which is made in Switzerland and not double-wall insulated. You'll have to test for lead when you get it if you're worried about it, but there's no reason anyone would put lead in Stainless Steel. You'll be looking out for other nasty chemicals instead. Put boiling water in the bottle, let it sit, then test the water...or trust that LifeLine is screening their Chinese manufacturers appropriately.

It is actually manufactured in China which I did not know before purchasing. It is good quality. I have no dents and I am tough on appliances, putting them in and out of a cabinet.
