Case Name
In re: Sinus Buster Products Consumer Litigation, Case No. 1:12-cv-2429-ADS-AKT, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
Case Summary
Sinus Buster products are a line of capsaicin-based drugs that are marketed and sold online and in retail stores for between $10 and $15 per bottle. According to the class action lawsuit, Hi-Tech claims capsaicin has the ability to treat sinus congestion and related cold and allergy symptoms. The Sinus Buster products are sold as over-the-counter homeopathic drugs, and have therefore not been evaluated or approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). According to the class action lawsuit, Hi-Tech falsely represented that Sinus Buster products were effective for their advertised purpose, homeopathic, FDA-approved, and proven effective.
The Sinus Buster class action lawsuit alleges Hi-Tech misrepresented the efficacy of its Sinus Buster products in violation of consumer protection and warranty laws. The plaintiffs claim that they would not have purchased or paid as much for the products if the products had been labeled accurately. Hi-Tech denies the allegations but has agreed to the class action settlement to avoid the expense and uncertainty of ongoing litigation.

Sinus plumber now.
It is now relabeled sinus plumber. You can find it all over online. Haven’t tried new branding as I still had sinus buster on hand. Just ordered 2 bottles. The blend is a little different but hi hopes.
