NEW YORK — Medical Self Care Inc., a former online retailer of health products, has filed a lawsuit claiming NBC breached an agreement to invest $10 million in its Internet business.

SelfCare, which ceased operations in January, said it began discussions with General Electric Co.’s (GE) NBC unit in December 1999, when the “Internet boom” was in full swing and traditional media players were seeking to establish presences on the Web.

SelfCare sold allergy-free bedding, blood-pressure monitors and spa and skin-care products through the Internet.
