A story just moved on the Associated Press wire, saying the good folks who make Airborne tablets will pay $30 million to settle a lawsuit and federal regulators’ charges that they made false claims about “the cold-fighting benefits of the fruit-flavored remedies.”
The Federal Trade Commission said Thursday there is no evidence that products from Bonita Springs, Fla.-based Airborne Health Inc. “provide any tangible benefit for people who are exposed to germs in crowded places.”
I don’t know much about this case. But I know I have used Airborne many times in the past, and it works for me. Could just be a placebo effect. I don’t care. If they told me it cured a broken arm, I’d use it for that.
