They are not BEING sued the have BEEN sued and settled. They will pay $23 million to the class action suit, however, they sell $300 million worth of Airborne per year.

They lost the law suit because of false claims in advertising.

i can sell you a product that can "help" prevent you from getting hair cancer

it will work for you as well.

Just Alex · 03-04-2008, 04:08 PM

Its vitamin C. Lots of it. Really nothing special.

03-04-2008, 04:36 PM

they had a special about it on 2020 last year and some lab proved it to be just a big dose of vitamin C that the body would lose via urination.

unfortunately, im sure the lawyers got the major chunk of that decision

Finally, thank god someone proved how much of a scam this product is. People take the shit then if they don't get sick they assume it was because of the Airborne even though they may not have got sick at all if they didn't take anything.

It's a simple scam that dates back to a long time ago and this is always why I cringe when I hear my friends and family talking about how awesome it is.

I guess for them ignorance is in fact bliss.

I have been saying Airborne was bullshit since they came out.

Take a steam bath or hop in a hot tub. It will help you way more then that crap.
