    "The letter said that recommended daily doses of six Herbalife products contained levels of lead that are dangerous and in excess of what California law allows under its Safe Drinking and Toxic Environment Act of 1994."

    "The law requires businesses to warn consumers if their products contain chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. An explanation of the law can be found on the website of California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment at http://www.oehha.org/prop65/law/P65law72003.html."

        I do not understand the need for suppliments, my grandparents lived to their mid 90s doing everything that science now says will kill you. I suppose it did eventually kill them, but not until they were completely worn out. I am in my late 60s, have never had a vitamin nor any other health enhancer. I go to the doctor for a physical exam every 24 months to maintain my CDL. It would seem to me that health food is a scam ran on a really gullible public.....

            I'm beginning to think that the only thing safe to ingest is what you grow yourself.

              Is it only my natural cynicism, or couldn't this be part of one person's gripe against a company and/or a tactic to make money (betting that the shares fall) ??

              If true, fairly scary !!

                Thought that just products from China had lead in them. Who knew? Where do HerbaLife get it's products?

                  I guess being from pay check to paycheck and barely keeping essential bills paid has it's advantages.

                    I have been a share holder of Herbalife stocks ever since our research indicated on how much potential this company have for our investment portfolio and the reputation of the scientists and operators behind the company. We have vested much research into this matter and have concluded people not to digest information w/o proper due diligence.

                    Who is the source of the report? Barry Minkow of the alleged "Fraud Discovery Institute" whom purchased 'put' options in the company stock. So ask yourself why invest in having stocks go down when you are also the source of the report? The guy actually served time for stock fraud.

                    Are the reports valid? 3 pills per meal each and every day? No wonder they have the lead amounts high. This is 3 times the actual dosages.

                    Jim Cramer advises that Herbalife stocks will be affected. It's a great time to buy.

                    People who read snippets of text and are quick to judge makes people like me a lot of money. And for that, I thank you all.

                      If you know that you have something in your product that is not safe then you being a share holder you should speak up to that company. The reasons such products are made is to enhance man-kinds life. Is it not?
