Consumer Issues

Consumers today must make decisions about a range of diverse and often complex issues, from making wise purchases of products and services, to avoiding identity theft and financial scams. To help you make informed decisions about these and other important issues, Cooperative Extension provides a wealth of unbiased, researched-based information in a variety of forms.

CCE-Tompkins offers fact sheets and other research-based information to help you make informed decisions about buying anything from a used car to an insurance policy for your home. We also provide information -- on our website and through public advisories -- about recent product recalls and other current issues in the news that are of interest to consumers. You'll find many of these resources and other useful links here on our web site.
