MLM Company Xango In Trouble With FDA Over Product Claims

MLM company XanGo, maker of an exotic mangosteen juice, claims to be the fastest-growing home-based seller of dietary supplements in history, going so far as to call itself the "iPod of the wellness revolution." Of course, Apple never peddled its hot-selling device by saying it prevents cancer.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, that's exactly what XanGo is doing in promotional brochures, violating U.S. law in the process.

The FDA, in a Sept. 20 letter to XanGo, said it has "serious concerns" regarding the promotion of the Lehi-based company's mangosteen juice concentrate, a dietary aid that sells for $35 a bottle and generates hundreds of millions of dollars a year in sales for XanGo.
