Australian law firm files class action against Johnson & Johnson over 'ineffective' cold and flu medication.

If the action is successful, anyone who bought the products in question since 2005 could be compensated.

The action relates to tablets containing phenylephrine, a substance which the US Food and Drug Administration last year declared was not an effective nasal decongestant when taken in tablet form.
