Makers of dietary supplement to pay $7 million settlement
December 17, 2008

Airborne Health Inc., the makers of a popular dietary supplement that proudly advertises it was "developed by a teacher," on Tuesday agreed to a $7 million settlement with attorneys general in Florida and 31 other states.

The company, headquartered in Bonita Springs, is also prohibited from implying Airborne can prevent, treat or cure colds, the flu or upper respiratory infections.

Florida's will receive $460,000 through the settlement, the third and final such action pending against Airborne.

In a statement, co-owner Victoria Knight-McDowell said she felt the legal claims were unjustified but that the company decided to settle to "let us focus … on making great products that people want and count on."
