On Oct. 28-29, 2011, an interactive exhibit of Consumer Reports' history and future was on display in Grand Central Terminal, New York, N.Y. to celebrate Consumer Reports' 75th anniversay.
The exhibit featured displays on cars, appliances and home products, electronics, wellness, and shopping, and included testing demonstrations, ask the expert sessions.
The event also featured a panel discussion about the role of media in keeping our food safe. Food safety is a key area in our work. And over the decades, our lab tests and critical reporting has informed the public about antibiotic-resistant bacteria in pork, arsenic in rice, Bisphenol A (BPA) in canned food, salmonella in chicken, and other dangers lurking in our food supply.
In February 1936, a dedicated band of professors, labor leaders, journalists, and engineers founded Consumers Union. Explore some of the highlights of our history in our interactive timeline and go from Consumers Union's origins to present day.
Your generous tax-deductible support makes our work possible. Consumer Reports is a nonprofit organization that relies on your support of the Consumer Reports Foundation. Visit https://bit.ly/s9wfUz for more details.
