April 2014: A federal judge certified the class in a class-action lawsuit filed against Hyland’s, Inc for allegedly falsely advertising its over-the-counter homeopathic cold and flu remedies, including Hyland’s Cold ‘n Cough 4 Kids and Complete Flu Care 4 Kids. The complaint, which was originally filed in 2012, alleges that the products will provide “fast acting” relief for cold and flu symptoms – such as runny noses, coughs, and body aches – when, according to plaintiffs, the remedies only contain diluted concentrations of the active ingredients and do not perform as advertised.
