Direct sales company Amway says it is conducting a review of its practices worldwide and has sped up a planned reorganization of its operations after British regulators filed a complaint against the company."A sealed complaint was filed against Amway in Britain following a yearlong investigation. The country's Department of Trade and Industry declined to comment and details of the complaint were not released," The Grand Rapids Press reported on Sunday.
Amway said it has placed a 120-day moratorium on recruitment of new distributors in Britain and a ban on sales of motivational tapes and literature not produced by the company.
"This makes very clear we are deadly serious about establishing a new way to promote the Amway business," Mike Mohr, general counsel for direct-sales giant Alticor Inc, Amway's parent stated.
Amway hopes to convince the British government that changes have been made before a court takes up the issue.
