Consumer World Original
Wayfair's big "Way Day" sale was earlier this month where the popular home furnishings seller claimed the lowest prices of the year and savings up to 80% off. In the course of checking out the deals, Consumer World discovered the company appeared to be making exaggerated savings claims based on misleading price comparisons. We checked a small sample of items to see if you really could save a lot more on Way Day compared to any ordinary day. In the process, we discovered something even more startling.
That is our Mouse Print* story this week.

Consumer Reports reviewed hundreds of public records and test reports for 130 brands of bottled water. It identified 11 brands that had detectable levels of arsenic. Six of them had levels of arsenic above three parts per billion, which Consumer Reports believes is potentially dangerous for people who drink that water over an extended period of time. See the brands affected.
