Amway (QUIXTAR) versus Monavie (Brig & Lita Hart), March 2008

Source: https://www.amquix.info/pdfs/monavie/2-08-cv-00209-db-02.pdf

This action stems from the unfair competition of Mona Vie, Inc. and MonaVie LLC (collectively referred to as “MonaVie”) and its distributors. MonaVie conspired with existing and former Quixtar distributors to intentionally interfere with Quixtar’s existing contracts with its current and former IBOs by inducing them to breach their agreements with Quixtar. In their effort to raid Quixtar’s distributor force and to obtain product sales, MonaVie and its distributors, among other things, falsely advertise the health benefits of its products that compete with Quixtar products. For example, MonaVie distributors falsely advertise that the MonaVie products cure cancer.
