title pic Asthma Sufferers Product Guide

Asthma is serious business.  According to the CDC there are approximately 16 million Americans who currently have asthma, 7 million of whom are children.  In fact, asthma is the most prevalent chronic illness in children affecting nearly 10% of the population.   Asthma attacks can last for minutes or even days and are generally characterized by coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and chest tightness.   Asthma is generally treated or controlled with anti-inflammatory drugs and bronchodilators but asthma symptoms can be substantially reduced by avoiding exposure to known allergens and respiratory irritants such as pollen, dust mites, mold and animal dander. Other asthma triggers include irritants like smoke, pollution, fumes, cleaning chemicals and sprays.  Popular Asthma Products Nebulizers – Nebulizers deliver lifesaving aerosolized liquid medicine to the lungs through a tube-like mouthpiece.  Allegro offers a wide assortment of nebulizers including the latest piston-powered, pediatric nebs, hand-held ultrasonic nebulizers and compact nebulizers.  We suggest the MABISMist II Handheld Ultrasonic Nebulizer , the CompMist Compressor Nebulizer Kit  or the Beetle Neb Compact Ultrasonic Nebulizer

Jeff Vespa/Wireimage/Getty The days of impromptu vacations are a thing of the past for Molly Ringwald ! Since becoming a mom-of-three, the Secret Life of the American Teenager star tells Entertainment Tonight she has “had to get a lot better about scheduling.” “I used to be very spontaneous — I’d get on a plane, go anywhere I wanted anytime I wanted — and that’s sort of changed,” Ringwald, 42, concedes. “I just have to think a little further in advance and that’s okay.” Quick to point out that she has help — a cousin serves as nanny for Mathilda Ereni , 6, and 8-month-old twins Adele Georgiana and Roman Stylianos — Ringwald says she also relies heavily on husband Panio Gianopolous , whom she describes as “incredibly involved” and “a great father.” The family of five like to enjoy dinner together — from beginning to end! “I find that kids tend to be less suspicious of things that they had a hand in making,” she explains.

title pic Some "lifetime" warranties not living up to consumer expectations

We've all bought products that come with a lifetime warranty, believing—hoping—that the “lifetime” warranty would protect us against product failure for as long as we live. But there are plenty of limitations to lifetime warranties, which don't have any uniform legal definition nationwide. As you can see in the video, “lifetime” can pertain to the life of the original owner, the usual life of a product, or the life of, say, a vehicle if the warranty is offered on a part.

The FTC should update its Green Guides. Last summer, the Federal Trade Commission charged four companies with falsely stating that some of their “bamboo” clothing and textile products were “antimicrobial, made in an environmentally friendly manner, or biodegradable.” The agency was relying on its Green Guides—formally the “Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims” —for the definition of the claims about those textiles
