It is unsurprising that Amway being such a large company, ($US5 billion + sales, 60 countries) and having been in existence for nearly 50 years, that there would be some controversies.

Proctor and Gamble suing Haugen, Randy & Valorie, and other diamonds for spreading urban myth in 1995 that P & G were involved in satanic worship, see full blog comment. It would appear at this stage that the 12 year court battle would be over. And Randy and Haugen are no longer associated with the Amway business.

Current controversies would include:

Tools business. The profit, if any, in the tools. And what proportion of larger pins income does the tools business make up. This ties into the business restructure in the Amway UK & ROI market.

Senior pins resigning. Like any business there senior figures who disagree. This leads to at times senior pins quiting Amway, or Amway terminating senior pins for rules violations. The latest example of this is TEAM issue.


Older controversies include:

Proctor and Gamble suing Haugen, Randy & Valorie, and other diamonds for spreading urban myth in 1995 that P & G were involved in satanic worship, see full blog comment.
