You can get data on products Finding information about products is a real problem for consumers. Every company thinks its product is best. If they didn’t feel this way, we wouldn’t have faith in their products. But how do you sort out the facts and avoid the biased comments? it’s difficult but experience is the best teacher. There are a number of sources for consumer information. Companies are usually very helpful in answering questions and supplying information about their products. Magazines are very helpful; however, you have to be careful about the reliability of the information. Take a close look at the tests and the results. Os course, the reputation of the magazine is important too. The Consumer Product Information Center publishes an index of selected federal publications on how to buy, use, and take care of consumer products. Many of the publications are free but there is a small charge for most of them. A few of the topics for which information is available are: toasters, dishwashers, microwave oven radiation, room air conditioners, vacuum cleaners, washers and dryers, Xrays from home TV sets, anti-freeze-coolant, automobile batteries, hazards of “mixing” tire types, minibikes, toy safety, clothing and fabric care labeling, removing stains from fabrics, sanitation in home laundering, soaps and detergents for home laundering, Fair Credit Reporting Act, FDA consumer, mail fraud laws, mail order insurance, truth in lending, caffeine, federal food standards, how to buy beef roasts, how to buy beef steaks, how to buy meat for your feezer, keeping food safe to eat, dietary supplements, nutritive value of foods, eye cosmetics, hexachlorophene, sickle cell ane-
