Talk:Amway

Founding date is inaccurate
An FTC ruling states that AmWay was founded in 1949 as Ja-Ri Corporation and that its name was changed to AmWay in November 1963.

This information ought to be updated. 2600:1700:1310:7CC0:BCA4:99AE:802F:CBFA (talk) 18:34, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Change the first sentence: Amway (short for "American Way") is an American multi-level marketing (MLM) company that sells health, beauty, and home care products.

To: Amway (short for "American Way") is an American direct selling company that sells health, beauty, and home care products.

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: why? MLM seems to me to be more specific and informative as direct selling can use both single-level and multi-level marketing Cannolis (talk) 17:20, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Misleading Redaction
The sentences: "Amway has been investigated in various countries and by institutions such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for alleged pyramid scheme practices. It has never been found guilty, though it has paid tens of millions of dollars to settle these suits."; are incomplete and misleading because this section does not include that the FTC already established that it is not a pyramid scheme through the In re Amway Corp. ruling in 1979. One needs to read the entire article to know about that, but the doubt is already seeded. To be fair, mentioning the FTC in the article's header should also include the corresponding outcome of that process. Otherwise do not mention it and let the reader go through the article to know about the FTC investigation and the results. Finally, the comments about the "FTC" and the "...paid tens of millions of dollars..." together, imply that the company paid to the FTC in 1979 which was not the case. 24.114.71.102 (talk) 02:50, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
