Fallow v Herbalife
Nov 04, 1998OUTCOME: $1,000,000 Judgment
No distributor had ever taken a case to trial against Herbalife. For good reason: Herbalife had a reputation back then for dragging out litigation. Once they’d made the case extremely expensive, they’d ... then offer a small settlement, knowing that the plaintiffs would most likely take them out of necessity. They tried and failed to do that with Tom Littler's cases. They were nothing short of shocked when Tom and his clients turned down their $100,000 offer and instead went to trial. This was the first time a distributor had done this, but Tom and his clients knew they had a good case. They were proven right. After winning a month-long jury trial against two large regional law firms representing Herbalife, Herbalife eventually paid over $1,000,000 to satisfy the judgment.
