Airborne tablets?!
Question: I'm surprised by the whole mess over the Airborne lawsuit because I honestly never took it as a cold remedy, I take it as a supplement, like as a substitute for the multivitamin. To combat a cold I take an Advil or Tylenol or an equivalent of those. But I always figured, work or not for colds, a good dose of vitamins can't hurt (as long as it's not in excess). Anybody else agree with me? Will you continue to use it?

hmmm, to think there is a lawsuit over a combination of vitamins, minerals and herbs that make a claim to keeping a person healthy, and possibly even preventing the common cold!!! Wow!!!
We all know it is because the pharmaceutical companies did not think of it first, nor could they patent this natural product.
I use it during the day to give my system a boost if my day has been a bit stressful. If a family member has signs of a cold, then they, too, get a nice, warm, fizzy glassful. As long as it is one the market, we will keep using it.
I personally just take a Vitamin C tab (500mg) when I feel something coming on and if I get sick (sometimes the Vitamin C wards it off) I take 1000mg/daily of Vitamin C and my illness is normally short lived.
Everyone comments on how I never get sick anymore (I used to get sick all of the time too, at least 5-7 times per winter) even when the other 3 people in my household have something contagious.
So to answer the question, no I won't ever take them (never found the need), no I don't see the hoopla over the lawsuit, and no I never considered them a cold remedy.
Yes I agree! I will keep using it because it has always helped me and is natural. Hope they can stay in business.
Maybe it does have some benefit as a supplement. But these people made millions of dollars deceiving the public (at least the idiot portion of the public). Let the scumbags go bankrupt, just buy multivitamins if thats all you want anyway.
