Airborne Coughs Up Millions to Settle Suit

[Carchar]

Under a settlement announced yesterday, the privately held Airborne Health, based in Bonita Springs, Fla., will add $6.5 million to funds it has already agreed to pay to settle a related class-action lawsuit. That suit, which alleged that Airborne falsely claimed its products could cure or prevent colds, was settled earlier this year for $23.5 million. Consumers who bought Airborne products between 2001 and 2008 have until Sept. 15 to apply for a refund for as many as six purchases, the FTC said. Claims will be paid by Oct. 15, 2008, the company said in a statement.

If you were among the duped, queue up for your money!

Alas...I have such little faith I never believed in this product. So no refunds for me.

Too bad the stuff doesn't work. I have noticed it on the shelves but have never bought it.

Jenny and G, with every post we find out how bright you all are. I didn't buy or believe their claims either.

If they had really found medicine's "holy grail" the company would be making Billions, not facing lawsuits costing them millions, and their scientists would be receiving the Nobel Prize for Medicine.
