Quixtar Targets Bloggers
In the lawsuit filed this past week in Ottawa County Circuit Court, Quixtar seeks an injunction and damages of more than $25,000 against the posters, identified only as John Does.
Quixtar develops and manufactures nutrition, beauty and cleaning products that are marketed in the United States and Canada through a tiered selling system, hiring entrepreneurs to sell its products. Parent company Alticor Inc. uses the Quixtar name for its U.S. and Canadian direct sales unit and sells products throughout the rest of the world as Amway Corp.
Among the products Quixtar representatives sell are Nutrilite vitamin, mineral and dietary supplements, Artistry skin care and cosmetics, XS energy drinks, and air and water purifiers.
