Procter And Gamble Steps Up Pressure On Ex-Amway Distributors

Procter & Gamble is giving Amway distributors hell for trying to overturn a multimillion-dollar jury verdict against them for spreading the false rumor that the household-products giant supported a satanic church.

P&G has filed a brief opposing the distributors' request for an investigation into possible jury misconduct. The company argues there is no evidence of wrongdoing by the panel and that court rules prohibit questioning jurors about their deliberations.
