Herbalife About To Settle Class-Action Lawsuit

by Tina Williams • September 14, 2014 • 0 Comments

Herbalife is close to reaching a settlement with five former distributors who claim the controversial nutritional products company is running a pyramid scheme that has victimized thousands.
Lawyers for both sides told California federal judge Beverly O’Connell last month that “the parties have tentatively agreed on the principal terms of a settlement,” according to court papers.
The parties asked for an extension of several pretrial filing dates, saying they needed more time to finalize a deal.
The suit was brought by California resident Dana Bostick in April 2013, less than four months after hedge fund activist Bill Ackman called Herbalife a fraud and placed a $1 billion short bet on the shares.
In June, four new plaintiffs joined the proposed class-action suit against the Los Angeles company.
Both sides declined to comment on the talks or the amount of the potential settlement under discussion.
Herbalife, which is under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission and other regulators, has denied the allegations and earlier said the suit had no merit.
But it now appears willing to accept a class-wide settlement to put a cap on its liability, sources told The Post.
The class would cover about 1.5 million people — those who joined in the US after 2009 to the present, excluding

Avon, Dissatisfied, Withdraws From DSA

by Tina Williams • September 14, 2014 • 0 Comments

In a press release dated September 12th, Avon stated they were withdrawing from the DSA because of their dissatisfaction with the organizations direction. They sent a letter, addressed to “U.S. direct selling colleagues”, which shares their decision was driven by two key issues:
1. They believe the DSA’s agenda in the U.S. is overly focused on issues of a few specific brands rather than industry-wide challenges.
2. They believe that the U.S. DSA Code of Ethics requires updating to better reflect the current state of the industry in the U.S.
Avon is not exiting the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations, local market DSAs, or other direct selling trade organization outside of the United States (many of which they are founding members of). They believe these associations play an important role for Avon. Avon continued to share that there are three major aspects of their business model that they believe further safeguards their representatives and consumers.
1. The Avon business model does not rely on nor does it encourage sales of inventory, training or business support materials between representatives. The core of their model is retailing.
2. Avon has reasonable return policies and representatives are not left holding excess inventory.
3. Avon limits earnings to three generations. They do

Visalus 2 Star Ambassador’s, Dallas And Wendy Gareau, Earn 500k In Lifetime Earnings

by Tina Williams • September 14, 2014 • 0 Comments

Dallas and Wendy Gareau accepted the PROJECT 10™ Challenge in 2011 because they wanted to lose weight and feel better—but what resulted was much more than a health transformation.
In 2014, the couple broke more than $500K in lifetime earnings. It’s a milestone that marks an impressive achievement, as they’re driven by more than monetary rewards.

“We never started promoting The Challenge for money or to build a business,” says Dallas. “We only started because we wanted to see if our 90-day Challenge and drinking the Vi-Shape® Shake would work for us.”

Dallas has dropped 46 lbs. and Wendy has shed 30 lbs.* since starting their Challenge. This incredible transformation inspired them to share their story with every person they could.

“With zero to minimal experience, we built an entirely organic business,” stated Wendy. “We have been blessed so abundantly, and we want to pay it forward.”

Prosperity for Others
“The biggest reward promoting Vi is working with others and knowing our own success is revealed through helping those we care about,” says Wendy.
In fact, she has helped her sister and uncle lose more than 200 lbs. collectively* and gain financial freedom by introducing them to the same PROJECT 10 Challenge that changed her own life.
