Ahhh, Lawsuit Relief
Airborne Settlement Bubbles Up Lawsuit Searches
In the heat of political battle, with all eyes criss-crossing on Texas/Ohio/Vermont/Rhode Island, one question burned across the Internet: What do you mean Airborne doesn't really work?
Online queries for "airborne lawsuit" bubbled up nearly 8,000% after a class action suit against the herbal supplement company ended with refunds promised to consumers. Yes, that charming cartoon on the box showing sniffly airplane passengers apparently was deceiving, and a second-grade teacher from a town which elected Clint Eastwood as a mayor can't be altogether trusted, Oprah anointing notwithstanding.
The effervescent downer not only stimulated lookups for refund details, but also prompted a query into "class action lawsuits" altogether. Not all litigious searches are about looking to cash in: Check out the 10 most searched "lawsuits" in the past 30 days:
- Airborne Lawsuit
- John Ritter Lawsuit
- Erin Andrews Lawsuit
- Credit Card Lawsuit Kim Kardashian
- Class Action Lawsuits
- Best Buy Lawsuit
- Chantix Lawsuit
- DeBeers Class Action Lawsuit
