Other sources of revenue include a proprietary certification program, licensing fees, contents re-publication license fees and advertising. In 2000, ConsumerLab.com generated media attention when its testing of ginseng products revealed substantial pesticide contamination in many products. In 2008, they found 12 red yeast rice product samples to contain widely varying amounts of active ingredients and some included toxins. The testing was repeated in 2014 and 2018 with similar findings. In 2011, they found that two of three coconut water products contained less sodium and magnesium than claimed on the label. This spurred a class-action lawsuit against 's manufacturer, ., which was eventually settled for $10 million in 2012. In 2012, a ConsumerLab.com study on an energy drink reported the tested sample contained about 207 mg of caffeine. (en)
