When the media thinks it’s a problem

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

Sometimes issues are raised in the media that are of considerable concern to our clients.  A lot of times, we don’t have any particular problem with these issues, but need to recognize that our clients may be concerned and need good information.  This may include things like urea formaldehyde foam insulation, vermiculite insulation that contains asbestos, aluminum wiring, radon, knob and tube electrical wiring, and so on.  The way we like to address these issues is to find authoritative sources that can be quoted to refute a media buzz that has created an issue for consumers.  We try not to be dismissive of the issue, but help the client put it in perspective.  In some cases, we don’t believe it’s any problem at all; in other cases, we point out how it can be dealt with easily and inexpensively.
