My first comment wasn't that serious, I just wanted to jokingly refer that the Cacoa brand Swiss Miss themselves maybe weren't 100% ethical correct when they call themselves Swiss Miss undoubtedly they want to evoke an association of their product whith Switzerland because Switzerland has a good image concerning Cacoa product while not being Swiss at all. Sorry about the confusion of trademark and copyright laws but since I am a Swiss Miss as well English isn't my native language so things like that happen especially if I write not meant to be taken soo serious replies to silly comments.

As far as it being silicone – silicone has not been proven any safer than BPA plastics. Good luck convincing tea drinkers that plastics OR rubbers in their tea are a good thing.

I fail to see what really is Swiss about them. In Switzerland they might get problems if trying to sell their products because Switzerland has been taking those things more seriously during the past few years.
