Airborne Refunds

sarah b Posted at 23:33 on Thu, 08/14/2008

A few people mentioned at the lake that they had used Airborne in the past, so I wanted to point out that the FTC settled deceptive advertising charges with the company today. If you purchased Airborne between 2001 and 2007, you can file for a refund (with or without a receipt) for up to 6 product purchases. Details are available at the FTC website. Go get your money back!  The deadline for filing for a refund is September 15.

But a regular multi-vitamin would be a lot cheaper and just as (in)effective in preventing or treating a cold.  For some interesting scientific info on colds, check out http://www.commoncold.org/special1.htm.  Apparently, 95% of people will catch a cold once the virus gets into their nose, whether they have a healthy immune system or not.  And "boosting" your immune system might actually cause you to have worse cold symptoms because your body will fight the virus harder (i.e., more sneezing and runny nose).

I still believe it works. At least I get my vitamins from it.
