[h=1]Nurofen maker fined $1.7m for misleading customers on 'specific pain' relief range[/h]The maker of Nurofen, Reckitt Benckiser, has been fined $1.7 million for breaching consumer laws.
Last year, the Federal Court found Nurofen's "specific pain range" misled consumers because they all contained the same active ingredient and did the same thing.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission had asked the Federal Court to impose a fine of $6 million.
The court earlier found that Reckitt Benckiser's range of "pain specific" products all contained the same ingredient and did the same thing.
But during the hearing to determine penalties, lawyers for Reckitt Benckiser said "rational" consumers would not think a pain-specific product was any more effective than a regular one.
The products promised to relieve either back pain, period pain, tension headache or migraine, even though it is not possible to target pain relief in such a manner.
All of the products contained the exact same active ingredient: ibuprofen lysine 342mg.
The barrister for the ACCC, Katrina Banks-Smith SC, said Reckitt Benckiser made "substantial profits" from its misleading marketing and a large fine was warranted.
"There needs to be some serious taking away of profit," she said.
Ms Banks-Smith SC said consumers had been financially harmed over the space of five years as the pain-specific products were sold at almost double the price of Nurofen's standard range.
The ACCC also argued Nurofen's competitors were disadvantaged as there was less shelf space available.
In December the company was given three months to withdraw the products from sale.
It agreed to place stickers on the products in the interim to correct the misleading claims made on the packaging.
However, lawyers for the ACCC said those stickers were being obscured in some supermarkets

@Sir El Stiffy;
What you gonna do about this?

Never buy Nurofen again. Actually I never bought the shit before.


What are you going to do about this [MENTION=17457]Repacked[/MENTION]; [MENTION=6722]Bazza20[/MENTION]; [MENTION=3627]Goosey[/MENTION]; [MENTION=9251]Darkoz[/MENTION]; [MENTION=15762]El Testicle[/MENTION]; [MENTION=1719]Arfwit[/MENTION]; [MENTION=17161]White_Lie[/MENTION]; [MENTION=12395]Grunta[/MENTION]; @anyone


Answer me kunce!
 
Didn't Panadol do the same chit?
Won't stop me buying either of them but I only buy the regular stuff, never believed in the specialist versions
 
What would you rather me do? Boycott them and buy the "generic" brand which is probably the same chit only I have to go to the chemist to get it rather than throw it in the trolley with the weekly shop?
 
I've started taking Panadol for my period pain in protest of Nurofen, and started washing my clothes on the banks of the Yarra in protest of Colgate. I expect their corporate financial structures to start crumbling any minute now.
 
I thought they were done for this years ago. Fine must of just come through now.

If you don't want to get ripped off on nurofen. When I was having issues with a leg injury I was getting them online $10 for a bottle of 500. Cosco brand.
 
I'm gonna buy an extra pack, works for Viagra and hangover headaches. That's all I give a fuck about, sue your arsses off for all I care.

Buy Aspirin. It'll thin your blood and increases Testosterone.

Give you boners so hard your eyes will bleed.
 
It's a Type 2 A.I.

Try it. But be aware, as it is a Type 2 A.I. there will be rebound.


Boing!!!!!
