MLM Company Mannatech Under Investigation In Texas

MLM company Mannatech, a Dallas-area company that sells sugar pills touted to cure cancer, Down syndrome and a panoply of other conditions, is under investigation by the Texas Attorney General's Office for possible deceptive trade practices.

"Mannatech has made unproven health claims about its products, such as the ability to cure cancer and numerous other ailments," the AG's office wrote in an Oct. 24 response to a public information request. "The claims are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration, making the claims potentially in violation of both state and federal law."
