Are you using Airborne to cure or prevent common cold and for “other therapeutic benefits”? Well, if that’s the case, you’ll be interested in the result of the Airborne Lawsuit. It results in a $23 million settlement today.
Airborne had a class action lawsuit because of false allegations they made about the product. Why? There’s little solid proof that the product works! So what they are selling? A placebo, Airborne doesn’t have the scientific backup needed.
The company is going to recall the product, and the money is supposedly destined to all airborne consumers who spent cash in this garbage med.

“There’s no credible evidence that what’s in Airborne can prevent colds or protect you from a germy environment,” said CSPI Senior nutritionist, David Schardt. “Airborne is basically on overpriced, run-of-the-mill vitamin pill that’s been cleverly, but deceptively, marketed.”
Many people are enraged over this, in the end they just bough a bunch of vitamins. And well the company hasn’t much to say about this, a recorded message at Airborne says “Defendants deny any wrongdoing or illegal conduct, but have agreed to settle the litigation.”. At the end $23 million is nothing compared to the big earnings they have. Anyway, that’s a victory to consumers and a reminder that placebo can work pretty good on some people.
