About Things Last

What We Do

Things Last provides data-driven answers to how long products actually last. We analyze data from U.S. government agencies and present it in a way that helps consumers make informed decisions about purchases, repairs, and replacements.

Our Data

All information on this site is derived from publicly available U.S. government databases. These agencies collect and maintain data on product safety, food storage, vehicle defects, and medication standards as part of their regulatory mission.

Our role is to analyze this data and make it accessible to everyday consumers.

Independence

Things Last is an independent publication. We do not accept payment from manufacturers, and commercial relationships never influence our data or analysis.
