A class action lawsuit alleges Johnson & Johnson sold ineffective cold medicines in NZ, AU, Canada, and the U.S.

A class action lawsuit has been filed in New Zealand against Johnson & Johnson, alleging the sale of ineffective cold and flu medicines containing phenylephrine over the past 20 years. The lawsuit, also filed in Australia, claims the company misled consumers as growing evidence suggests the ingredient is ineffective when taken orally. Similar lawsuits have been filed in Canada and the U.S. The case, funded by Omni Bridgeway, could be the largest class action in New Zealand's history.
