When a fact on this site is wrong
We want the information you read on these pages to be right, so when it is not, we want to hear about it.
The site is run by people, and its pages are built and checked by the method set out on our How We Research page. Even so, a detail can be wrong or go out of date. If that has happened, we are sorry, and we want to put it right.
What to report
Please tell us about any of the following:
- A fact that is wrong, such as an ingredient, an amount, a price, a guarantee or refund term, or what a study found.
- A cited source that does not say what the page says, or a link that no longer works.
- The wrong product or maker, or details that have changed, including a recall or safety warning.
- A product described in a way that breaks advertising or health-claim rules.
- An ad or banner that is not labelled as one, or that makes a claim of its own.
How to report it
Use our contact page. Include the page address, the sentence that needs attention, and a source for the correct information if you have one. A maker who finds something wrong about its product is welcome to send the source too, so the page can be updated.
What happens next
Every report is checked against its source. If the page is wrong, we fix it, and the date line at the top of the page then shows “Updated” with the date of the change.
What a correction does not cover
Corrections deal with facts and compliance. Which products a page covers, and how it compares them, are editorial decisions made by the publisher named on our About page, which also discloses commissions and any connection to products shown. Requests to remove a comparison, a competing product or an ad are not corrections, but we read every one of them. A wrong fact inside a comparison, however, is a correction, and we will fix it.
Legal notices and safety concerns
Legal notices and concerns about a product’s safety also go through the contact page. If a product has harmed you, please speak to a clinician first, and you can report it to the FDA through MedWatch.
