Default Airborne Not Proven Effective
Airborne just settles a $23 million dollar suit claiming it is not effective. They will repay all the Airborne you ever bought if you have the receipts or up to six packages with no receipts. See their website for details to come.

The whole story here.

I could have told you that just looking at the crappy packaging and terrible taste.

If I'm sick, I'll just go eat a 18 oz. steak and some mashed potatoes and sleep for 12 hours a day until I'm better...all natural baby!

There's a difference between
"Airborne not proven effective." --my reading of the links you provided
and
"Airborne proven not effective." --your thread title

Still, thanks for the info. Sounds like I'm due a windfall!

Do you work for Airborne?

Yeah you're right but I can't change my title once posted, only a mod can.

I totally agree and feed them to my crew all the time but I just thought some people might want to get their money back. Could at least get some beer money or something.

That is actually not true! I changed mine last week sometime. I always forget how to do it, though.
