The company that makes the Airborne "cold remedy" received the mighty slap of justice when they had to settle a court case brought by dissatisfied customers due to their products' "clinical trials" lacking both the "trial" and the "clinical" parts. In other words, their products are nothing more than snake oil. Good to know.
