== == No, you are thinking of a theory that a grad student wrote for her master's thesis.
This thesis stated that DEHA was released from plastic water bottles when they are used more than once. DEHA (or diethylhydroxylamine) is a potentially carcinogenic element. However, it has NEVER been classified as a human carcinogen. The FDA has approved DEHA for products used in food storage.
This is all moot as most plastics used in water bottles do not contain DEHA.
So, go ahead and refill those plastic water bottles. Or, better yet, don't use them at all. Take your own bottles and REFILL them instead of wasting money and resources. See the two links below

Is bottled water that is left inside a car and temp reach 150 degrees Fahrenheit is it safe to drink?
No, because when it is left in a plastic bottle and in a high temperature, the plastic due to heat, will release toxic particles in the water. If you then drink that water, you will also drink the toxic particles ..... so it's not recommended to drink water that is left inside the car in a high temperature!!
Does bottled water left too long in a warm car contain toxins which leach out of the plastic bottle?
Yes, over time, heat can cause chemicals from the plastic bottle to leach into the water, especially if the bottle is exposed to sunlight. The longer the water sits in a warm car, the greater the chance of potential contamination. It is generally recommended to store water in a cool, dark place to minimize this risk.
