About

Welcome to CitizensReport.org, the online news source for informed Citizens. The rapidly developing worlds of technology and medicine present a challenge to responsible consumers who wish to stay current. CitizensReport.org is dedicated to providing you breaking news, information and a voice in one comprehensive virtual forum.

Citizens Report has a history of providing valuable information regarding consumer rights as a print publication. We began with a mission to inform our community of mass recalls and current affairs in medicine and science. The Internet has allowed us to further materialize our vision and expand our reach while providing a vehicle for an open dialogue of stories and experiences. Citizens Report gives consumers the tools to be informed and recognize their rights by providing reliable resources for those seeking recourse.

What we do:

• Provide essential information on medical developments, financial news, and consumer rights
• Provide quick links to reliable resources such as the FDA and the Consumer Product Safety Commission
• Share recent breakthroughs in science and medicine

What you can do:

• Share experiences with other Citizens in our Community Forum
• Speak out and notify Citizens Report of a new recall or warning
• Watch videos on current events in business, health, and the environment.
• Listen to podcasts of our featured speakers, professionals in the fields of law, science and medicine.

We strongly encourage you to be informed and get involved at Citizens Report. Our goal is to be the online resource for concerned parents, inquisitive consumers, injured employees…our community. We welcome your questions, opinions and feedback regarding the site.
