Launched in 1936 as the official publication of Consumer Reports, Consumer Reports magazine reaches more than 3.4 million people and has received numerous awards. Consumer Reports was the first to test and report on critical, life-or-death issues including the true levels of tar and nicotine in cigarettes, the risk of radiation from microwave ovens, and the potential for SUVs to rollover. Consumer Reports evaluates thousands of products across more than 100 categories in home and garden, appliances, electronics, cars, food and health. Consumer Reports does not accept any advertising or free samples from manufacturers. The only ads in the magazine are for other products and services from CR.
