Airborne’s makers have agreed to refund over $23 million to the consumers who bought their popular herbal supplement products. This refund is to settle a class-action lawsuit against them for false advertising. Sales have been fast and furious; surpassing $100 million in just the first seven years since its creation in 1999 by former second-grade teacher, Victoria Knight-McDowell. Claims of being able to fend off the common cold or even cure it has led to the company’s legal battles, which began in 2006 following an investigation by ABC‘s Good Morning America. The company was found to have no credible evidence or research to support the claims it advertised. For more information about the refund go to www.airbornehealthsettlement.com.
