Airborne Settles False Advertising Lawsuit, Pays Out Refunds
March 4, 2008
Washington (dbTechno) - The makers of Airborne have settled a $23.3 million lawsuit, which included false advertising charges against the company. Airborne, which is supposed to fight off the common cold, has been found to not work. They have agreed to pay out refunds to people who send in claims, whether they have proof of purchase or not. Those opposing the medicine have called it simply, an overpriced vitamin.
Airborne has agreed to pay out $23 million to settle the false advertising charges.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest stated that Airborne was nothing more than an “overpriced vitamin.”
The charges stated that Airbone was “deceptively marketed.”
The company has agreed to allow consumers to file a refund claim online, whether or not they have proof of purchase.
You can submit a claim whether or not you have a receipt. You will be able to claim up to six boxes of the product at $6.99 each.
The products include Airborne On-the-Go, Airborne Nighttime, as well as Airborne Gummi and Airborne Power Pixies.

Wait wait wait. So When are the makers of children’s cold medicine going to start their 20 year+ of false advertisement consumer refund program? I’m stocking up on Airborne before these sneaks pull it. The stuff worked wonders for my whole family. We haven’t used cold “medicines” for years. No wonder they are pulling it.
I still have purchases of Airborne. Where can I file a claim. This is so sad!
How do I file a claim.
