PRESS RELEASE
Fisherman’s Friend, Australia
23 November, 2009
No evidence that FISHERMAN’S FRIEND
®
is a cure for
swine flu!
Reports have recently emerged from the UK that consumers have been
buying up the FISHERMAN’S FRIEND
®
Strong Menthol and Aniseed
product because they think that it might cure swine flu.
The manufacturer and owners of FISHERMAN’S FRIEND
®
products,
Lofthouse of Fleetwood, understand that consumers are thinking that way
because aniseed is one of the ingredients in the FISHERMAN’S
FRIEND
®
Strong Menthol and Aniseed product and is also an ingredient
in the swine flu treatment TAMIFLU
®
.
Lofthouse of Fleetwood and its Australian and New Zealand
distributor Stuart Alexander make no claim that FISHERMAN’S
FRIEND
®
products prevent or cure swine flu. There is NO
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE to support this belief.
For further enquiries or questions, please contact Stuart Alexander
