What the Lawsuit Alleged
Plaintiffs alleged Herbalife and certain distributors misrepresented the value of attending U.S.-based Herbalife events and suggested attendance would lead to financial success. Herbalife denied wrongdoing, and the settlement is not an admission of liability.Who Was Included?

Herbalife funded $12.5 million for valid claims and settlement expenses. The company also agreed to policy changes stating that event attendance is not mandatory and does not guarantee financial success.Why Payments Are Still Listed as Pending
