Except Consumers' Reports doesn't do that. They accept no advertising and do not allow their reports to be used in advertising. From their website:
CONSUMERS UNION NO COMMERCIAL USE POLICY
We accept no advertising and we are not beholden to any commercial interest. ...Such information may not be used by others in advertising or to promote a companys product or service. In addition, this policy precludes any commercial use of any of Consumers Unions published information in any form, or of the names of Consumers Union®, Consumer Reports®, or any other of Consumers Unions publications or services, without our express written permission. If Consumers Union learns that this policy has been violated, it will take all steps necessary to prevent the misuse of its names or of any of its materials, including legal action where appropriate. |
