Consumer affairs.com is putting complaints about Kevin Trudeau on their website. If you look at the top of the page, you will notice they have an ad from Kevin. Let me show you how to spell Morons. M-O-R-O-N-S

Why do you have this advertisement (see copy below) on your site??? It does say ad by Google but you are supposed to be a consumer advocate organization and you are allowing this sort of advertising, which is meant to spy on others, invade their privacy, and hurt them.

When someone makes a complaint to the better business bureau the BBB gives the that company an opportunity to respond to the complaint.If anyone in your oganization went further than the eighth grade maybe you would have thought of this as well. Maybe you were raised in a communist block country.The first complaint you have registered against Sun State Encloures (dated 2003)A women named Sheri Sounding like an angry 2nd. grader was also filed with the BBB and answered by Sun State, then dismissed! The 2nd. complaint concerning a man by the name of Stan (dated back to 2000 ) this man never even woked for Sun State Enclosures but an inquiry or I don't know a little investigation on your part would have been, I don't know FAIR!I'm real curios how many other companies you have frivolously slandered without benefit of rebuttal. Keep up the great work Bill McCarthy

You wrote a bizarre, one-sided report on new CPSC head Tenenbaum. In it you point out that there were a series of safety recalls for products that could have injured kids (let's ignore the obvious fact that kids play with adult objects, rocks, etc. all day long which pose safety risks). These recalls were, of course, prior to the enactment of the CPSIA. The CPSIA benefits nobody but attorneys and government bureaucrats. I challenge you to examine the law and explain to me how the testing standards required by the law improve child safety.

Large companies will simply send samples from batches of thousands of toys to the Chinese testing facility down the street from the Chines manufacturing facility to "prove" its safety. Then the same company can hide behind the CPSIA and say its testing conforms. Easy solutions? Probably none, but one thought would be to realize that kids and adults are exposed to lead in many aspects of everyday life and work to reduce the levels. The CPSIA pushes for an extreme solution that will actually not benefit anyone buy attorneys who will continue to litigate on these issues ad nauseum.

Common sense legislators from both sides of the aisle will admit (in private) that this law, like most, needs to be amended and fine-tuned. Let's be real here, thrift shops aren't killing kids, poor parenting is killing kids. If as a nation we take responsibility for the toys we give our kids by buying high quality toys (new or used) and monitoring how our kids play with them, we will save more lives than by adding bizarre and business-killing legislation.

1000's of small (read: mostly hand crafted and safe) toy and clothing manufacturers out of business. An estimate would be tough, but let's say they each had annual revenues of 75,000 (these are really small firms), then maybe a couple hundred million in lost sales to these firms and with this associated tax revenue, etc.

I read and understand that you do not endorse products and services that are posted by 3RD party advertisers. However In your June 25th news letter - you have Freedom Debt Relief listed as a NEW ROGUE, yet when I clicked on it to read the comments there was an ad for the same company! Seems to me that when they obviously become a problem company - YOU SHOULD BE REMOVING THOSE ADS!

This is your website and YOU SHOULD BE TAKING A MORE ACTIVE ROLE in advertising content and remove any ads for KNOWN SCAM BUSINESSES! WE NEED TO STOP KNOWN SCAMS FROM ADVERTISING AT ALL. The reason SCAMS advertise now is because those selling advertising time will sell ad space to anyone willing to pay for it.

I have been an internet user for many years and have become increasingly depressed by the amount of nonsensical, scurrilous and dishonest material published via this medium. Your website, consumerAffairs.com, established a new low in my depression level with the publication of a piece purporting to debunk the claims made by Ozzie Freedom on his Water4Gas web site.

Starting with its title, ('Run Your Car On Water' Scheme Could Leave Consumers All Wet), and continuing through its second line, (Scientists debunk 'scammish' gas-from-water claims), it is ludicrous in almost every satement it makes. This example is especially bad because the website claims to be a champion of the consumer whilst in reality seeming, (by the publication of this piece, to be the tool of vested interests (viz the oil industry?). Please restore a little of my faith in human nature by assuring me that this article is the result of honest gross incompetence on the part of its writer, rather than cynical disinformation.

ConsumerAffairs.com gave misleading information regarding water for gas in an article by Mr. David Wood. The article misleads the public when he says "Scientists debunk 'scammish' gas-from-water claims"

excuse if this is wrong place, but I couldn't find anywhere else to comment. concerning: 9 secrets to online bargain hunting By Cindy Waxer • Bankrate.com Cindy Waxers article was great , but needed an addition: "Beware of the snakes" Sometimes saving a small amount may result in receiving a used or open box item. Cds and dvds pirated music are rampant Amazon.com has a huge inventory and can find anything you are looking for at a good price. The addition of a list of a group of amazon approved outside venders at even cheaper prices makes this an excellent comparrison site. If other on line dealers offer large discounts from amazons prices, beware the merchandise you are getting! Do your homework and make sure of what you are ordering. The web is not your hometown Macys where returns are easy. Otherwise GREAT WORK Cindy Waxer for an in depth column.

I love your web site and the articles are great! But the last few newsletters every time I read an article and the mouse curser gets near an underlined word these advertisements from Vibrant keep popping up! And they WON'T GO AWAY!!!!!!!!! It is so hard to read and learn something when these ads keep popping up. Please FIX this!!!!!!!

I love your articles and by learning from them I can help my customers where I work by answering their questions. And you also help me keep my family updated on recalls. You have saved my family from multiple chances of salmonella from sprouts, pot pies, pan peanut butter, hamburger and pet food. Lots of stuff. These ads are such a pain! Please fix them or get rid of them. Something! Thanks for for your time in this I really appreciate it!

I find it funny that you are always attacking Nutro Products- saying the FDA has file complaints once again yet the FDA has filed nothing since the recalls of 07-08. Even in the letter from the FDA that you posted in your new link shows that the FDA denied your request for information (the first box marked with an x). For once will you stop reporting on products, not just Nutro, if you don't have all the facts. It is making your site look like you are making things up just to get the public stirred up.

I have use Nutro products on my pets since I was a child and have never had any problems. Even vets have said that there was more to these cases then what people where feeding their pets- Yet you seem to leave that out of your reports... I think it is about time that you are investigated for once for all of your claims that seem to prove false not just the companies that you rag on.
