Z Recommends on the radio

Z Recommends on the radio

We're going to be the guests on a community radio show tonight from 6-7 p.m. CT - if you're around, have a listen (or even call in)!

We'll be chatting about consumer safety issues, our favorite kids products (and maybe a few busts we've seen - anyone remember the Pacifier of Bling or the Time Out Teddy?), earth friendly holidays, and consumer issues we haven't posted about yet. You can listen to and watch a live video feed of the show, Biased Transmission, on LiveStream. We aren't sure yet whether it will be available after airing for later listening, but we'll let you know if it is.

To ask questions or make comments during the show you can call the station at 979-779-5367 or post them on either the Z Recommends Facebook page, send them to @ZRecs_Safety on Twitter, or post them on the Biased Transmission Facebook page. By the way, have you "liked us" on Facebook yet? Or followed Jennifer and ZRecs_Safety on Twitter?

We hope to hear from y'all during the show!

By popular demand: PayPal option for Pampers/SIGG tests

By popular demand: PayPal option for Pampers/SIGG tests
Photo by Mindful One
A few readers have written in to ask for a PayPal payment option for our project fundraising for ZRecs testing of SIGG and Pampers Dry Max. Anji writes:

Would you be able to add Paypal to the payment options? I'd love to contribute a bit to each project. My sister and many friends and family use Pampers, (I use cloth at day and Huggies Supreme at night), and am always looking for the best option for drink containers. Not to mention, I appreciate EVERYTHING you guys do!!!! But our credit card is maxed, and the e-check thing is very unfamiliar to me. I pretty much only spend online, if I can debit from our bank account with Paypal, which is essentially no different from using my debit card for everything else I pay for in real life. Thanks!


Happy to oblige! We will suggest to our fundraising host that they add a PayPal payment gateway, but in the meantime, you can donate to either our Pampers Dry Max Skin Reaction Testing or our SIGG EcoCare Liner Flake Testing via PayPal, click this donate button:







There is a "special instructions" field you can use to specify whether you'd like your donation to go to the Pampers testing or SIGG testing or both; you can also leave it blank and we'll use it to fund whichever project is in greatest need. We will probably turn around and donate the money into the fundraising page on your behalf, so everyone still has a sense of our real progress towards our goal - even if this means losing another small percentage that the fundraising host charges for donations.

If, on the other hand, you're happy to pay by credit card or e-check, you can do so directly through any of the SIGG or Pampers links above, where you can also learn the background and goals of each project.

Thanks to those who have donated so far - and to everyone considering a donation, we hope this PayPal option makes it that much easier to help us do more to help you!
