Executive Summary
Suit against Amway and several independent distributors dismissed in Salt Lake City, Utah federal court March 29. The ruling dismisses the final three of 11 claims filed by Procter & Gamble regarding an incident in 1995 in which an Amway distributor repeated a rumor linking P&G with Satanism, Amway said. P&G argued Amway "failed to stop its distributors from spreading false and malicious statements" against P&G. The court ordered P&G to pay Amway fines for bad faith, destruction of evidence and for the violation of a court order. Amway said its expects a similar P&G lawsuit in Texas to be dismissed
