Science over Advertising?
"In a recent ruling, science won — but only to a degree, Schardt says. Airborne is admitting no missteps but has agreed to refund the purchase price to people who can show they purchased the tablets. 'Defendants deny any wrongdoing or illegal conduct but have agreed to settle the litigation,' reads a site set up to give information about the suit. " - NPR (link)
Lawsuit lets you get a refund or support Airborne
"Airborne
has settled the class action law suit with a $23.3
million dollar settlement, agreeing to refund [t]he cost
of Airborne] that they have purchased since May 1, 2001.
To register as a class action member you must file a
claim here by September 15, 2008. You do not need sales
receipts to qualify. If you are an Airborne supporter,
because there are many that believe the herbal
supplement does work, you can also object to the
settlement or officially exclude yourself from the law
suit. You must do this by May 12, 2008. Keep in mind
that if you exclude yourself from the settlement, you
will not be eligible for a refund and you must register
as a class action member to be eligible." -
