    Ames True Temper Replaces Broken Decade-Old Shovel
    By Laura Northrup on June 16, 2010 12:30 PM   20 Comments
    As consumers in modern America, we often cynically assume that "Lifetime Guarantee" is just a something companies slap on products with no basis in fact, like "New and Improved!" or "With Calcium." But there are companies who take the lifetime warranty concept seriously, and will replace a ten-year-old shovel after its handle breaks just as garden season begins. Matt discovered that a shovel he picked up at Home Depot a decade ago carried such a guarantee...and the company replaced his broken shovel even though all proof of purchase was long gone. More »

    Ecosense Brand Insecticide Not Eco-Friendly, Makes No Sense
    By Laura Northrup on November 22, 2009 8:00 PM   51 Comments

    —>Reader Dan came across Ortho's Ecosense insecticide in the store, and noticed something strange. The name "Ecosense" implies some kind of crunchy environmental friendliness, does it not? Why, it's even written in green right on the package. So why does the package also have the disclaimer, "not intended to imply environmental safety either alone or compared to other products"?  More »
