Airborne and its “cold”tastrophy

I read yesterday that the maker of Airborne just settled a lawsuit because of false advertising. I myself have used Airborne maybe didn’t read all about the hype of it “curing the common cold” . Now when I was taking the product, I thought that if you took it early (when you felt that you were getting a cold) that it would at lease “ease” your cold symptoms. I guess maybe I put to much thought into it? :)

Their false advertising stated that the product “prevented” and or “treated colds”. There was a lawsuit filed in 2006 for the false claims and the company has to now pay up to $23.3 million settlement of a class-action lawsuit. Now the question is hey, where is my piece of that? Anyways, anyone who has used the product between dates May 1, 2001 and November 29, 2007 you can file a claim and will receive a refund. There is a going to be a final settlement of the amount in the middle of June but if anyone who has questions about their products or to obtain a refund should go to their website.

To get your refund for your purchase of Airborne call 1-888-952-9080 or go to their website http://www.airbornehealth.com/ for further information.

Anyone whom purchase Airborne between 20t01 and 2007 should submit their claim by September 15, 2008.
