The judge overseeing a case brought by Reckitt Benckiser against Aft Pharmaceuticals over its allegedly deceptive painkiller ads has temporarily blocked Aft from releasing ads that claim its Maxigesic painkiller is stronger than other paracetamol-ibuprofen combination drugs.

Aveling Homes has admitted in court papers to taking down customer reviews it didn’t like from review websites it controlled, as alleged by the consumer regulator in its suit claiming the builder duped prospective customers.

Aft Pharmaceuticals has denied claims brought by consumer goods giant Reckitt Benckiser that ads for Aft’s over-the-counter painkiller Maxigesic are misleading and causing harm to Reckitt’s brand.
