If you have sensitive skin, it’s tempting to put your trust in hypoallergenic jewelry or lotions. But the term may not mean what you think: there’s no legal definition of “hypoallergenic,” so it’s entirely possible those products contain something you’re allergic to. According to the FDA, the term “means whatever a particular company wants it to mean.” No testing is required, for example, and there’s no list of common allergens that has to be left out. Hypoallergenic pets may produce less dander, but it’s still possible to be allergic to them.You’re better off checking ingredients (if you know what you’re allergic to, and if you’re looking at a product with a label) and trusting your own experiences.

From the world's tallest skyscraper to the world's highest popping toaster, it seems like a day rarely goes by without news of some sort of record being broken. As far as consumer gadgets are concerned, everyone claims to have the biggest, smallest or the fastest product on the market—but just because it's in the press release doesn't make it true.

No so with the following 10 gadgets—these are sure-fire record breakers. Although, in some cases, you will require record amounts of cash to get your hands on one. World' Fastest Production Car: During a speed test in Washington state, the twin-turbo, 1183 hp SSC Ultimate Aero hit an average top speed of 255.83 mph. That's about 3 mph faster than the next closest production car—the Bugatti Veyron. World's Fastest Production Motorcycle: The SSC Ultimate Aero speed test wasn't the last time the $1.7 million Bugatti Veryon got smacked around. Listed as the world's fastest production motorcycle, the (claimed) 194 hp 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa is actually quicker than the Bugatti. And it's a steal at only $12,000. World's Biggest Plasma Television: Who could forget the enormous 150-inch plasma Panasonic unveiled at CES? The 2160 x 4096 resolution screen is truly breathtaking in person, but only the richest of the rich will be able to afford this beast when it hits the market next year.

Sure, there are other camcorders that claim to be the smallest, but no one can argue with the scientific accuracy of David Pogue's eyeball test. World's Smallest USB Drive: There are several manufacturers that claim their USB drive is the smallest, but the current leader appears to be Super Talent with an 8GB choking hazard that measures 31.3mm x 12.4mm x 3.4mm and weighs less than a nickel. argos tab top voile curtainsAvailable for around $30. aerolux curtains[Super Talent via Link] rhodas curtains

World's Most Complicated Watch: It took five years to plan and four years to build, but in the end watchmaker Patek Phillipe created what is surely the most complicated watch in the world with the Calibre 89.
