Honoree Mitch Lipka with KID co-founder, Linda Ginzel

On May 19, 2011 KID marked a year of victories in children’s product safety and honored Mitch Lipka, Consumer Columnist, as our 2011 Best Friend for his commitment to reporting on children’s product safety. From his series in the Sun-Sentinel in 1999 that was one of the earliest and strongest investigations of children’s product safety to his continued reporting on recalls, regulations and safety, Mitch has always provided accurate information to the public, playing a crucial role in keeping children safe.
