DSSRC Administrative Closure #18
In 2019, DSSRC contacted a direct selling company regarding several earnings claims on the direct selling company’s website as well as claims that were being disseminated by the company’s salesforce on social media.
After resolution of DSSRC’s inquiry in 2019, DSSRC continued dialogue with the direct selling company regarding the earning claims on its website. Ultimately, the direct selling company discontinued use of a “financial freedom” claim as well as a claim that salesforce members could earn “full-time income.”
