Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE: HLF) and the Fraud Discovery Institute announced that the Fraud Discovery Institute retracts its accusations against multi-level marketer Herbalife. Herbalife and the Fraud Discovery Institute reached the agreement to avoid litigation.

Upon further investigation by FDI founder Barry Minkow, the Fraud Discovery Institute became convinced that Herbalife employs systematic internal controls, including the use of outside, independent laboratory testing, which ensures their products are manufactured safely and in compliance with California law. It is evident to the Fraud Discovery Institute that Herbalife produces products that are safe, and that the company strives for continuous improvement in product quality.

The Fraud Discovery Institute immediately withdraws all accusations against Herbalife, including any Proposition 65 allegation relating to any Herbalife product and any contentions against the Herbalife business model.
