Our short answer
The Research Team keeps Health Data Consortium accurate, but a detail can still be wrong or out of date. If you spot one, tell us, and we will check it against the source and put it right.
Why errors happen
This site is run by people. Its pages are built and checked by the method described on our How We Research page. Even so, a label can change, a link can break, or a study can be described more loosely than it should be. We are sorry when that happens, and we want to put it right.
What to report
Please let us know about any of the following:
- A fact that is wrong, such as an ingredient, an amount, a price, a guarantee or refund term, or what a study found.
- A cited source that does not say what the page says, or a link that no longer works.
- The wrong product or maker, or details that have changed, including a recall or safety warning.
- A product described in a way that breaks advertising or health-claim rules.
- An ad or banner that is not labelled as one, or that makes a claim of its own.
For example, if a page reports a supplement’s dose from an old label and the maker has since changed it, that is worth sending to us, along with the newer label as your source.
How to send a report
Use our contact page. Include the page address, the sentence in question, and a source for the correct information if you have one.
What happens next
The Research Team checks each report against the source. If the page is wrong, we fix it, and the date line then shows “Updated” with the date of the change.
What a correction covers
Corrections deal with facts and compliance. Which products we cover, and how we compare them, are editorial decisions made by the publisher named on our About page, which also discloses commissions and any connection to products shown. Requests to remove a comparison, a competing product or an ad are not corrections, but we do read them. A wrong fact inside a comparison is a correction. A maker who finds something wrong about its product is welcome to send us the source so the page can be updated.
Legal notices and safety concerns
Legal notices and concerns about a product’s safety also go through our contact page. Anyone harmed by a product should speak to a clinician and can report it to the FDA through MedWatch.
