New York was the first state to require public schools to test their drinking water for lead, back in 2016. A decade later, though, according to our new report, lead contamination continues to be a persistent problem in New York State schools. frontiergroup.org/resources/…

Recalled consumer items in 2025 were linked to 12 deaths, more than 1,200 fires and nearly 900 injuries. Given those risks, shouldn’t companies make it easier to get a refund or replacement for a recalled product? frontiergroup.org/articles/w…

Only half of consumers notified about unsafe products take action to seek a remedy. One likely reason? Companies don’t make it easy to respond to a recall, as @FrontierEliz explains frontiergroup.org/articles/w…

Recalled consumer items in 2025 were linked to 12 deaths, more than 1,200 fires and nearly 900 injuries. If a product you have purchased is recalled, for your safety, you should act—even if the recall is a hassle, @FrontierEliz explains. frontiergroup.org/articles/w…

Many pets eat the same food day after day, sometimes for years. If that food contains PFAS, it could mean repeated exposure to these forever chemicals over time. Nilou Yaar explores why keeping PFAS out of pet food and packaging matters. frontiergroup.org/articles/d…
