Popular Australian sportswear label Lorna Jane has been fined $5 million by Australia’s Federal Court for falsely claiming one of its clothing lines could eliminate COVID-19 and stop its spread.

Between July 2 to 23, 2020, Lorna Jane claimed its “Anti-Virus Activewear” line was sprayed with a substance called “LJ Shield” that could protect from COVID-19.
