If you are one of the millions of consumers taken in by the many ads and testimonials claiming that those ubiquitous orange Airborne tablets prevent colds, relief is at hand. In a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission, the company has agreed to make amends for false claims by refunding up to $30 million to consumers who bought the pills.
“There is no credible evidence that Airborne products … will reduce the severity or duration of colds, or provide any tangible benefit for people who are exposed to germs in crowded places,” said Lydia Parnes, director of the Federal Trade Commission’s Bureau of Consumer Protection.
