Interview: Consumer Reports on Protecting Your Wallet, Your Data, and Your Family

From baby products to big-ticket electronics, Consumer Reports has been testing—and exposing—the truth about products for 90 years. CEO Phil Radford joins the Mo News Podcast to share what his team is uncovering right now: hidden chemicals, shrinking privacy protections, the latest on safety and what some of the cuts in Washington could mean for every American consumer. We cover the push to bring manufacturing back from China, how “voluntary” corporate agreements really work, and simple steps to keep your home from being hacked. Plus, why this nonprofit refuses corporate funding—and how that independence shapes its mission.
