Consumers Research - Definition and Overview

Consumers Research is a non-profit organization established in 1927 by Stuart Chase (1888-1985) and Frederick J. Schlink (1891-1995), after the success of their book Your Money's Worth: A study in the waste of the Consumer's Dollar galvanized interest in testing products on behalf of consumers. It publishes a magazine of the same name.

In 1936 Arthur Kallet and others seeking a more aggressive stance broke with Consumers' Research to found Consumers Union and its magazine Consumer Reports.
