Is USANA Health Sciences a Fraud?
by Alex Shadunsky
Saturday, May 5, 2007
USANA (NasdaqGS: USNA) is a health and beauty company. It produces, researches, and sells health and beauty products mostly through a Multi-Level Marketing operation (direct selling). Its growth has been phenomenal and it has been publicly traded since 1992...
When I read about and watched a YouTube video of how USANA has supposedly lied to new associates about the money they can make, I just thought to myself of all the same schemes or businesses my friends/associates throughout the years have offered me. Some lie, some just only talk about the positives, no one ever talks about the negative aspects and how tough it actually is to make it as an associate and make a lot of money (for Usana, the top 3% of distributors make 70% of the commissions). When I did ask a question about the risk involved, there is a change of topic or somehow the question is not answered. If the new associate/distributor does its own research or actually thinks about what it's being told, there would be a lot less people signing up...
There obviously is an issue with USANA's MLM, but I think it will pass, it is just temporary negativity...
The negativity this company is currently experiencing is tremendous. The stock price is definitely displaying it, some of it is definitely unwarranted. The issues I am worried about are its products, some of which do not support its claims and which are much more expensive than comparable products for other brands...
I would avoid this stock for now and wait to see what happens to its sales, earnings, and margins in a full quarter after the accusations...
Disclosure: I don't have a position in USNA. |

Usana CFO Not a CPA
Tuesday June 12
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Another executive at Utah vitamin maker Usana Health Sciences Inc. has been forced to revise his credentials.
Gil Fuller, Usana's senior vice president and chief financial officer, has been described as a certified public accountant but let his license to practice public accounting lapse in 1986, long before he joined the company.
Utah authorities are investigating because state law doesn't let people call themselves a CPA unless they renew their license periodically with proof of continuing education credits.
"We're looking into it," Utah Department of Commerce spokesman Jennifer Bolton said Tuesday...
Fuller is the fourth company official to have to revise his resume recently.
Usana sales associate Ladd R. McNamara, who called himself a licensed medical doctor, quit the company's medical advisory board last week after The Wall Street Journal reported his medical license had been suspended in Georgia and Ohio.
"He had stopped practicing medicine for some time, but the important thing to remember about Ladd is he was on a non-decision making board -- really an idea board," Fuller said.
Other Usana officials have claimed degrees they didn't have.
In March, Denis Waitley resigned as a director after acknowledging he didn't have a master's degree from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif., that proxy statements claimed was his.
And Timothy Wood, vice president of research and development, changed his resume to show his Yale University doctorate was in forestry, not biology as he had claimed.
Fuller said Wood's dissertation was on a topic of biology and that he found it easier to describe his education by saying his degree was in biology... |

如果你享有佣金，表示你的业绩不错，个人销售500元其实并不难。。而且这没有强制性，有业绩才需要维持 |

USANA Hit With Proposed Class-Action Lawsuit by Distributors
Thursday June 21
SALTLAKECITY (AP) -- Independent distributors filed a lawsuit Thursday accusing USANA Health Sciences Inc. of fraud and deception, the latest public-relations blow for the marketer of vitamins and nutritional supplements.
The lawsuit, which seeks class-action status, was filed in California state court on behalf of hundreds of low-level distributors in California, which has tough multilevel marketing laws.
Veteran San Diego class-action lawyer Alexander M. Schack is seeking an injunction stopping Salt Lake City-based USANA from doing business in California, one of the company's biggest markets. The lawsuit seeks damages for "downline" distributors left with thousands of dollars of losses each after paying for business "kits" and products they say they couldn't sell at inflated prices.
"Despite a diligent effort consisting of time, money and energy, my USANA business failed miserably," Christopher Crane, the 23-year-old lead plaintiff, says in an affidavit.
Crane is no ordinary distributor. He was recruited by Dr. Ladd R. McNamara, who quit the company's medical advisory board last month after The Wall Street Journal reported his medical license had been suspended in Georgia and Ohio. Crane is a childhood friend and one-time roommate of McNamara's son.
USANA has come under attack by a San Diego investigator, Barry Minkow, for its network marketing business model, once-soaring share price, and series of flaps involving the credentials of top executives and sales associates.
Minkow, who served eight years in prison for stock fraud and later started the Fraud Discovery Institute, came out with his first critical report on USANA in February when he bought "put" options on USANA's stock in a bet the price would fall. USANA has sued him for defamation.
Minkow's reports have spurred a legal assault against USANA with eight law firms competing for the right to represent stockholders in another proposed class action. Schack's is the first proposed class-action filed on behalf of money-losing distributors.
USANA said in a statement that the lawsuit was without merit "and relies on false claims made by a stock fraud felon who stands to profit from a decline in USANA's stock price."
The lawsuit alleges USANA failed to disclose "material adverse facts" to recruits, notably that 87 percent of active distributors are losing money and that the company's business model amounts to a pyramid scheme requiring a constant churn in the sales force, according to court papers.
Crane said he couldn't sell the vitamin and mineral formulations at USANA's prices, couldn't consume the monthly supplies himself and was forced to give away samples to sales prospects. His total investment was $3,500, and after refunds he said he was out $500.
"USANA will defend...
