Magazine
the consumer bulletin
In 1930, Consumers’ Research began publishing The Consumer Bulletin to inform consumers about all the latest gizmos and gadgets of the day. Back then CR wrote reviews of the latest pocket calculators and warned against pills that claimed to inoculate the skin from the consequences of exposure to the sun. Today, CR’s quarterly magazine covers everything from diet fads, to board game funding, to the latest regulatory issues.
