Network Marketing with Magnetic Sponsoring and The Renegade

Herbalife International, one of the top network marketing companies in the world has been hit with a 2.5 million dollar lawsuit.

The plaintiff in this case is Mali Nir a customer and a distributor with the company who claims that the product caused her to suffer from chronic liver disease.

Mali lives in Israel and is suing both Herbalife International as well as Herbalife Israel, its affiliate corporation based in the country of Israel. She is seeking compensation for the health damages she has experienced that she attributes to the Herbalife product line.

Does Herbalife Products Destroy the Liver?

Herbalife markets a suite of products that are based from natural herbs. These products include nutritional supplements, weight loss products as well as other types of products in the health and nutrition industry.

However Mali Nir asserts that these products are far from health boosting and in fact are damaging to the health.

According to the lawsuit filed, her story is that she tried the products herself and even signed up as a distributor with the company so that she could promote these products to other people.

However, three years later, she discovered that she experienced severe damage to her liver. She claims that after she stop taking the Herbalife products, her liver began to work properly again. Despite this, she claims that she still has experienced numerous side affects from the initial damage that was done.

How Will This Lawsuit Affect Herbalife International?

The lawsuit will likely have little impact on the company. If the product truly causes liver damage, you would see a significant number of other customers also filing lawsuits against the company for the same claims.

In fact, it is very likely that you would see a large class action lawsuit against the company as a result of these claims.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that we won’t see a class action lawsuit filed in the future. However, one hasn’t been filed yet.

Even if the company loses the lawsuit, 2.5 million dollars is a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of money the company makes annually. The company does well over a billion dollars a year in revenue, so paying out or settling this lawsuit isn’t an issue for the company financially.

More damaging for the company would be the bad press it is going to receive as a result of this lawsuit. Many prospects for network marketing companies research the internet before making a decision to join.

News of this lawsuit is sure to spread all throughout the internet thus discouraging prospects who might of otherwise decided to become customers or distributors for the company.

The damage would be even greater should the company lose the lawsuit. However, that remains to be seen as to whether Mali Nir has a strong case against Herbalife or not.
