The News About Airborne Refunds

Well, it looks like Airborne, the herbal formula that’s supposed to cure the common cold doesn’t work as advertised. As a result if you purchased Airborne from May 2001 through November 2007 and you kept your receipts you are entitled to a refund.

Airborne settled a class-action lawsuit for $23.3 million, which requires them to pay for false advertising. You have until Sept. 15, 2008 to submit a claim for your refund. Airborne agreed to settle the suit even though they deny any wrongdoing or illegal conduct.

Airborne was made by a former second grade schoolteacher who should have known better than to make false claims. Apparently the claims were made with no data to back them up.

My question is, is Airborne really going to have to pay much of this lawsuit? I mean how many people do you think saved their receipt for some over the counter dietary supplement, which is what Airborne is classified as?

That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.
