About Consumer Advisory
Consumer Advisory is a research-backed consumer information platform. We simplify complex information about products, scams, consumer rights, and safety so you can make confident decisions.
Our Mission
Most consumer information online is either too technical, too biased by advertising, or buried in government documents most people never find. We fix that.
Our goal is simple: take the best available information from government agencies, peer-reviewed research, and official sources, and translate it into clear, actionable guidance that anyone can use.
What We Cover
Consumer Protection Guides
How to recognize scams, freeze your credit, understand your rights, report fraud, and navigate government resources. Sourced from the FTC, CFPB, CPSC, and other agencies.
Product Research
Plain-English summaries of peer-reviewed studies on consumer products, from red light therapy to water filters. We cite the source, explain the findings, and note the limitations.
Fact Checks
Answers to common consumer product questions, backed by multiple studies. Is red light therapy effective for hair growth? What do studies say about PFAS in water filters?
Product Comparisons
Side-by-side comparisons of specific products using specs from manufacturer sites. No filler — just the specs that matter for each product category.
Our Standards
- ✓Sources you can verify. Every factual claim in our articles and research summaries links to the original source — a government agency, peer-reviewed study, or official document.
- ✓Written for real people. We target an 8th-grade reading level. Clear, direct sentences. No jargon without explanation.
- ✓Transparent about money. We earn affiliate commissions on some product links. This is disclosed on every page where it applies. It does not influence our editorial coverage.
- ✓No opinions, just data. Our editorial voice is informational, not persuasive. We present what the evidence shows. You decide.
