Airborne To Refund Customers

The following news may not astonish many of you, but feel free to quietly claim your cut: The makers of Airborne, a line of popular herbal supplements that was marketed as a "miracle cold buster," have decided to settle the false-advertising complaints in a class-action lawsuit for $23.3 million, according to one of the plaintiffs in the suit.

While agreeing to reimburse customers for up to six purchases of Airborne products, the company made no stunning admissions. "Defendants deny any wrongdoing or illegal conduct, but have agreed to settle the litigation," the company said in a statement.

Under the agreement, a special Web site was created here to accept claims from customers, who have spent far more than $23.3 million on the range of Airborne products, from Airborne On-the-Go and Airborne Nighttime to Airborne Gummi and Airborne Power Pixies, which is sweetened for children.

Some details I picked up. You don't need sales receipts to qualify for the refund. But if you have one, it helps. With one receipt, you can qualify for upto 6 refunds of the product. There are different $ amounts based on the product you are claiming. The deadline is Sept. 15th.. There's more on steps, contact information at http://www.airbornerefund.info . Basically, I'm fishing around for my receipt; if I can't find any one of them, I'm just going to make the call and get the refund- good for a few trips to Peet's.
