	Consumer Reports - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Consumer Reports is an American magazine published monthly by Consumers Union, a non-profit organization founded in 1936 by Arthur Kallet, Colston Warne, and others who felt that the established Consumers Research organization was not aggressive enough.
		Consumer Reports is known for publishing reviews and comparisons of consumer products and services based on reporting and results from its in-house testing laboratory.
		Consumer Reports should not be confused with Consumers Digest, a for-profit publication which does accept advertisements and allows companies to use its reviews for marketing purposes.

	Consumer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A consumer is assumed to have a budget which can be spent on a range of goods and services available on the market.
		In 'time series' models of consumer behaviour, the consumer may also invest a proportion of their budget in order to gain a greater budget in future periods.
		Consumer could also be seen as an offensive term, implying that both an adult and a child's only function is to buy (consume) a product and discard it after only a short period of time.

		Reporting on Consumer Reports' findings is a violation of copyright law, according to a Consumers Union rep, so I have removed specific references to outcomes of Consumers Union reports.

		However, because this article is a report on Consumer Reports, by an electronic publication covered by First Amendment rights, and based on New York State law (which covers Consumers Union, owner of the Consumer Reports trademark), we believe that we are legally entitled to refer to Consumer Reports by name.

	WorldNetDaily: Consumer Reports advocates abortion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Consumer Reports, the respected magazine that has advised Americans on everything from new car purchases to which electric can opener to buy, has published a list of birth-control options that includes abortion, complete with a section describing how the procedure gets rid of a pregnant mother's "uterine contents."
		The main report, which is available in the February issue and online, analyzes various brands of condoms for strength and reliability.
		The activist also criticized the report for failing to point out that one of the ways the birth-control pill works is by changing the lining of the uterus, which prevents a fertilized egg from attaching to the lining, thus destroying the developing life.

	The “Other” Consumer Reports: What You Should Know about “Specialty” Reports

	Bringing the Consumer Revolution to the FDA: Newsroom: The Independent Institute
		Perhaps, but Bucholz is not exactly an uninformed consumer; he’s president of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and chair of the orthopedic surgery department of the medical school at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas.
		On the contrary, an FDA reorganized on the Consumer Reports model would produce and disseminate more information to patients and doctors, it would be more independent of the industry and it would be more willing to counter puffed-up pharmaceutical industry advertising.
		Consumer Reports, for example, has no power over the industries that it monitors and because of that fact it can answer to consumers alone.
