Media Coverage and Awards
The careless and greedy hate to be exposed. By drawing attention to dangerous products, we can often force them off the market. We forced a malicious Taiwanese company to withdraw a fatally sticky gel candy, and our pioneering efforts for tire safety lead to an industry-wide change in installation procedures. When auto manufacturers fail to issue recalls of dangerous parts, we make them. When airlines cut corners, we fight back.
