Airborne has been everywhere in the last few years - you’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn’t chugged the mixture, at least once, to stave off a common cold when everyone else in their dorm seemed to be getting sick. Well now it appears that all that good fortune has come back to bite Airborne in the butt. It appears There’s been an airborne lawsuit (class action) to the tune of $23 million! Apparently the Airborne settlement — the latest in a recent string of class action settlements — stems from allegations that Airborne Health, Inc. provided false advertising about the benefits of their product. The company claimed that their product provided the ability to cure or prevent the common cold — as well as other therapeutic benefits — however there is very little proof that the product works, leaving many customers to believe that they are paying money for a placebo.
