These types of companies who make outrageous statements and pretend to have science behind them should be forced to give double the money back, or more.
The problem with an even refund is that the company losses almost nothing for making the false claim. Chances are it got them more sales, even if you include the cost of refunds. And the person returning the product never gets a full refund when you include shipping and the time it takes to deal with the hassle.
To keep companies honest you have to make them lose money for bad business practices. You have to charge them far more than they would risk making an outrageous claim.
