Probably : The concern with the water bottles is usually consumption of chemicals (like bisphenol A) which may be associated with cancers if taken internally but doubtful that would be a problem externally if bottles used to hold liquid soap

PET Plastic Bottles: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the chemical name for polyester used in the manufacturing of the bottle. Some of the chemicals in the bottle can leach into the water bottles, especially in a heated area. These bottles are not designed to use more than one time. Even though the FDA states it is alright for refill, it is probably best to not take a chance of getting exposed to any chemicals.

By squeezing the electric hot water bottle too tightly (a hot water bottle of very bad quality) the liquid leakes, wetting me and my partner (especially in pajams, but also on the skin). If the liquid was carcinogenic, can in this case cause cancer?
