  In the categories of hair relaxers, hair colors and bleaching products, lipsticks, and concealers, foundations and sun-protective makeup, none of the products analyzed were scored as "low hazard."

  Fewer than one-fourth of the products marketed to Black women scored low in potentially hazardous ingredients, compared to about 40 percent of the items in Skin Deep ®  marketed to the general public. The percentage of products scored as "high hazard" was about the same for both market segments, but the disparity in products scored as "low hazard" suggests that there may be a narrower range of choices for safer-scoring products specifically marketed to Black women. Potential hazards linked to produc t ingredients include cancer, hormone disruption, developmental and reproductive damage, allergies and other adverse health effects. The worst-scoring products marketed to Black women were hair relaxers, and hair colors and bleaching products. Each of these categories had an average product score indicating high potential hazard.

  Can I run my Shop-Vac ®  wet dry vac continuously? Do not leave the vacuum unattended while it is running and/or plugged in. Filters need to be checked and cleaned periodically. Always turn the vacuum off and unplug from the outlet before servicing the filters. If you are picking up fine dust, the filter will need cleaned more often.

  Which size accessories fit my Shop-Vac ®  wet dry vac? To determine which accessories fit your vac, you need to determine the diameter of your hose. To do this; use a measuring tape to measure the distance across the opening of the accessory end of the hose. Shop-Vac ®  brand hoses will measure roughly 1.25”, 1.5”, or 2.5”. There are also adaptors av ailable to allow you to use different size tools with your hose. Most vacs have a 2.5" inlet, so you can use 1.25”, 1.5” or 2.5” hoses. If you have an inlet other than 2.5” in diameter, look for hoses that fit your model number or vac type (All Around EZ ® , Micro ® , etc.

  Which filter should I use for wet pickup? The best filter to use for wet pick up is a foam sleeve. The foam sleeve will stop debris, which may be in the water, from being sucked into the motor. When picking up water containing debris; such as, glass, stone, etc. you may want to consider adding a tear resistant wet / dry collection bag. The bag will trap the debris while allowing the water to pass into the tank. You can then remove the bag with the debris, dispose of it and then dump the water into a suitable drain. These filters are not available for all models.

  In an analysis of ingredients in  1,177 beauty and personal care products marketed to Black women , about one in 12 was ranked highly hazardous on the scoring system of   EWG's Skin Deep ®  Cosmetics Database,  a free online resource for finding less-hazardous alternatives to personal care products. Skin Deep ®  compares product ingredients to more than 60 toxicity and regulatory databases and scientific studies, and rates the products f rom 1 (lowest hazard) to 10 (highest hazard). With the addition of the products analyzed for this report, Skin Deep ®  now rates more than 64,000 products.

  If you do not fee l suction at the inlet, turn the vacuum off and unplug from the outlet. Follow the steps in the user manual that came with the vac to clean the filter. Check the filter for rips or tears; replace with a new filter if any are found. Empty the tank or if you are using a collection bag replace it if it’s full. Make sure the filters are properly installed then secure the housing to the tank. Plug the cord into the outlet, turn the unit on and place your hand at the tank inlet to check for suction. If you still do not feel suction at the inlet, turn the vacuum off and unplug from the outlet. Check the tank for any cracks and make sure the drain cap, if applicable, is secured to the tank.

  Black people make up about 13 percent of the U.S. population, but by one estimate, African-Americans’ spending accounts for as much as 22 percent of the $42 billion-a-year personal care products marke t, suggesting that they buy and use more of such products – including those with potentially harmful ingredients – than Americans as a whole.

  A smaller share of hair and beauty products marketed to Black women scored low in potentially harmful ingredients than products aimed at the general public, an EWG analysis of more than 1,000 products found. Because Black women appear to buy and use more personal care products, the limited options could mean they are being exposed to more potentially hazardous chemicals.  

  Why did my Shop-Vac ®  wet dry vac lose suction? The mos t common causes of loss of suction are dirty filters or a clog in the hose. To troubleshoot, remove the hose from the vacuum, place your hand at the opening of the tank inlet and turn the vac on. If you feel suction at the inlet, the issue is with your hose or accessories . Check your hose and accessories for a clog. If no clogs are found, check the hose for a hole or crack - even a small crack can cause a loss of suction. If a crack or hole is found, replace the hose.

  Kellogg’s , 7  General Mills 8  and Post 9  are members of the Children’s Food and Beverages Advertising Initiative, a voluntary self-regulation program operated by the Council of Better Business Bureaus. Members of the initiative have agreed not to advertise any cereal with more than 10 grams of total sugars per serving to children under 12. 10  That means that under the FDA’s current serving size standard, the initiative deems it OK to spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year on kid-targeted advertising of sugary cereals like Froot Loops, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Fruity Pebbles.

  The current FDA regulations were set in 1993. They say labels for the most common type of cereals must use a reference serving size of 30 grams, or about one ounce––what the average American ate in 1977. (Nutrition Facts labels also list serving sizes in a common household measure, such as cups or biscuits.) But anyone who has ever measured out a 3/4-cup standard serving of Honey Nut Cheerios or similar cereals knows that the serving sizes listed on nutrition tables are absurdly small. In the real world, most people fill their bowls with well over one of those miniscule servings. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, or NHANES, show that today an average bowl of cereal in America is 39 grams, or a little over a cup. 4  According to NHANES data from 2001 to 2006, it’s even more for children and adolescents. Their average serving ranges from 42 to 62 grams 5 ––up to twice as high as the FDA’s current standard serving. 6 That means that in the real ...

  Do I need to use a collection bag? There are many benefits to using a collection bag. It makes it easy to empty the tank and dispose of the debris. It also helps to keep the filter on the lid cage from becoming clogged and lessens how often you need to clean that filter. To answer the question, “do you need a collection bag?” - it depends on the vac you are using and the type of dry debris you are picking up. Vac with a cartridge filter or reusable dry filter: If you are picking up large to medium size debris, you do not need to use a collection bag. If you are picking up fine debris, you need to add a high efficiency filter bag or HEPA collection bag to trap the fine dust. Without the bag the fine dust will go through the filter and blow back into your room. Vac with a HEPA cartridge filter: You do not need a collection bag. Vac with a foam sleeve: Some of our smaller vacs come with a foam sleeve and a collection bag. For these vacs, you must use the collection bag with the fo...

  Which filter should I use for dry pickup? The filter you need is based on the type of debris you are picking up. For large debris (wood chips, gravel, etc.) use a filter with a general household filtration level or better. For medium size debris (sand, sawdust, etc.) use a filter with a medium filtration level or better. For fine debris (drywall dust, cold ashes, etc) use a filter with a fine filtration level. It is important to use the correct filter for your pickup needs. Using the wrong filter could cause the dust to blow back into the room. Specialty vacs may have different filter requirements. For these vacs, follow the instructions in your user manual.

  Why does my Shop -Vac ®  wet dry vac blow air out instead of pulling it in? The hose isonnecte cd to the blower port instead of the inlet on the tank. Simply remove the hose from the blower port and connect to the inlet located on the front of the tank.

  What is the open port on the back of my Shop-Vac ®  wet dry vac? This is the blower port*. You can connect your hose to this port and use it as a blower to blow leaves from your patio, grass clippings from the sidewalk, etc. Many blower ports are open and do not have a cap. This is normal. If you are seeing dust blowin g out of the blower port, please refer to the previous question. *blower ports are not standard with all models.

  Why does my Shop-Vac ®  wet dry vac blow dust back into my room? The dust isn’t being stopped by the filter and is being exhausted out of the blower port and back into the air. This can be caused by a hole in the filter, the filter not being properly installed, or the dust being too fine for the filter. If the dust is too fine, you need to upgrade to a filter capable of catching the dust and dirt you are cleaning up. When you are picking up fine dust, you need a HEPA or high-efficiency cartridge filter, a cartridge filter with a HEPA collection bag, or a cartridge filter with a high efficiency disposable filter bag. These filters are not available for all vacs.

  The U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires that the Nutrition Facts labels on cereal boxes disclose how much sugar is in each serving––important information that helps parents make healthier choices for their kids. But the labels are misleading: the sugar content is based on an outdated and unrealistic serving size that is one-fourth to one-half smaller than the average American child or teenager actually eats. As a result, kids who eat a bowl of some sugary cereals could consume five to nine pounds more sugar a year than the labels may lead parents to believe, an EWG analysis found. 1  In two years, when new federal guidelines for more realistic serving sizes kick in, none of the ten brands most frequently advertised to kids 2 ––which collectively spent $208 million on television advertising in 2011 3 ––will meet the cereal industry's current self-imposed limits for sugar in cereals marketed to kids.
