 * The resource is linked to an American Consumer Choice Magazine called Consumer Reports which may not be available in Australia. This does not affect the usefulness as a resource as any reference made to the Magazine can be ignored and left out. Alternatively, educators may choose to utilise the Australian substitute of this magazine - Choice Magazine - to complete the activities and questions relevant to the magazine. **
