NCL urged the FDA to reject a petition calling for false warning labels on Tylenol. There is no proven link between acetaminophen use in pregnancy and autism, and misleading labels would only spread fear and misinformation. Read more: ow.ly/wrxa50XnehT

Access to fluoride should not depend on your ZIP code. While we are relieved this is not a ban on fluoride supplements, the FDA’s recent action raises concerns about access to safe and effective fluoride sources for children. Every child deserves protection from #cavities. More: ow.ly/zg0T50XnbeV

Looks like Rivian is learning from Tesla's mistakes. But -- we agree with @autosafety.org. NHTSA should issue a safety standard, to make it easier to get out in an emergency and not get trapped inside. @nationalconsumers.bsky.social @tesla-takedown.bsky.social @saferoadsnow.bsky.social

Medical experts and autism advocates reject claims linking Tylenol in pregnancy to autism. ACOG says it’s one of the few safe options for pain and fever. Rising autism diagnoses reflect better recognition. End stigma, don’t spread fear. ow.ly/r4j850X1Pl9

Consumers are being misled with deceptive telehealth ads for weight loss drugs on their phones, social feeds, and TVs. Following the @US_FDA's recent crackdown on ads, our petition calls on the @FTC to exercise its authority to keep patients safe. See: ow.ly/FoA350X0WGY

Safety delayed is safety denied. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has postponed updates to its Five-Star Safety Rating Program, leaving consumers without critical information to compare vehicle safety. ow.ly/PKIg50X0zvc

Each year 54K Americans suffer table saw injuries, including 4K amputations. Yet the FTC wants to roll back safety standards. NCL’s Sally Greenberg: “It is outrageous that the FTC would put the profits of table saw manufacturers over the safety of American workers and families.” ow.ly/p2ka50WZFZQ

Middle & low-income Americans are losing faith in the economy. Sentiment fell nearly 6% in August as families cut back on food, clothes, and car repairs, while the wealthy keep spending on luxuries. When millions cannot afford basics as others live in excess, the system is failing. ow.ly/VaEf50WQzzt

Prescription drug costs keep rising while pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) profit in the shadows. NCL led a letter with 30+ orgs urging the Department of Labor to rein in #PBM practices, demand transparency, and put patients, employers, and consumers first. Read our letter: ow.ly/izC150WNCPc

🚨Without "pesky" regulations, giant sleazebag corporations can get away with committing fraud, mayhem, and murder. @nationalconsumers.bsky.social @consumerfed.bsky.social

Imagine when women couldn’t vote. Just 105 years ago today, the 19th Amendment was certified after decades of organizing, protest, and hard-fought wins in Congress and the states. This anniversary reminds us that women’s rights are hard-won, not guaranteed.

1. Major good news for trans students in Loudoun County. The school board has decided to defy Trump, will not ban trans kids from bathrooms. They have shown more guts than Ivy League universities and hospital systems, which have capitulated. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The NCL team took a moment to recharge—with a lunch cruise on the Odyssey! 🌊 While our work advocating for consumers and workers never stops, a little time together on the water was the perfect way to refuel and reconnect.

💰Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) made $7.3B in profits last year, while many patients struggle to afford their medicines. That’s not cost-saving — that’s exploitation. We need real reform and transparency in how our medications are priced. It's time to rethink the role of PBMs: ow.ly/4FPg50Wf54W

Medical debt is rising while hospitals profit from a program meant to help patients afford medications. Congress must act to get the 340B Drug Pricing Program back on track. #340BReform

🚨Counterfeit GLP-1s are flooding the market. @nabp's Josh Bolin warned during Wednesday's @HouseCommerce hearing: “That’s really, really scary when you think that people are injecting these [counterfeits] into their body.” Learn more via the NCL's #WeightTruth: www.weight-truth.org

WATCH: The 340B Drug Pricing Program was designed to help patients, but instead, it's padding the profits of big hospitals and other healthcare entities. NCL is urging Congress to bring transparency, accountability, and oversight to 340B.

📢 78% of Oregonians agree: #340B savings should help patients—not disappear into hospital backroom budgets. As HB 2385 threatens to expand a system lacking transparency, we’re urging @govtinakotek.bsky.social to veto & stand with patients. See where Oregon and other states stand: ow.ly/aQoU50W5F1l

🥗 Food is part of every moment—but behind every bite is a safety system you rarely see. #WorldFoodSafetyDay is June 7. 48 million get sick from foodborne illness each year. We need stronger oversight, not less. NCL has fought for food safety since 1899. ow.ly/pCKA50W4nV

The #340B program was created to help patients afford medicine—not secretly boost hospital profits. HB 2385 would expand a system that already lacks transparency and oversight. Oregon needs accountability. @govtinakotek.bsky.social, stand with patients and #VetoHB2385. #ORleg

Today consumer advocates from across the country and workers at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau held a press conference to warn of the harm HR1 would inflict on our communities across the country. #DefendCFPB
