TORONTO — An Ontario Superior Court judge has certified a class-action lawsuit against Bausch Health Companies Inc. that alleges false advertising for some of the pharmaceutical firm's cold remedies.

The lawsuit states that Bausch, formerly known as Valeant Pharmaceuticals, made false or misleading ad claims to consumers around five of its Cold-FX products.

The class action includes anyone in Canada who bought one of the five Cold-FX products in the nearly seven years between 2017 and this week."The defendants have never stated that Cold-FX products 'prevent and cure' colds and flu.

The more recent, certified lawsuit notes that the"active ingredient" in the cold products is a ginseng extract.
