Executive Summary
Attorneys general from 32 states and the District of Columbia reach a settlement with Airborne Health following investigations into Airborne's marketing claims. Victoria Knight-McDowell, founder and CEO of the Bonita Springs, Fla.-based effervescent dietary supplement maker, says the Dec. 16 settlement concerns "language that had already been dropped from our advertising and labeling," but the firm "wanted to close the book on these legal and regulatory issues."
