Market America has faced MLM-related criticism and litigation. A 2017 federal class-action lawsuit accused Market America of operating a pyramid scheme, and Truth in Advertising reported in 2020 and 2024 that it had identified atypical/deceptive income claims tied to Market America, with the company removing many claims after TINA.org's warning.
