MIAMI (Legal Newsline, September 29, 2017) – Calling Herbalife a “corrupt organization of individuals,” several plaintiffs have filed a class action lawsuit over allegations that the multi-level marketing company’s Circle of Success events are “valueless.” Jeff Rodgers, Patricia Rodgers, Michael Lavigne, Jennifer Lavigne, et al., individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a complaint on Sept. 18 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida against Herbalife LTD.; Herbalife International Inc.; Herbalife International of America Inc., et al. alleging that the defendants violated the Florida
Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, unjust enrichment and other counts. According to the complaint, the plaintiffs allege that defendants’ Circle of Success events are held each month in dozens of locations across the country and range in size from 200 to 20,000 attendees. Plaintiffs claim that they have spent thousands of dollars attending these events but received no benefit from doing so despite defendants’ continued guarantee of significant income, a better lifestyle and even happiness by attending.
