An Oct. 24 memorandum in response to a public information request says the state's top cop has "anticipated filing suit against Mannatech" for a number of alleged violations.
The public information request was filed by someone who has sold short Mannatech's shares.
The memo further states that the company has been under investigation by the attorney general's Consumer Protection and Public Health Division since July 2005 regarding possible violations of the state's Deceptive Trade Practices Act "and other related consumer protection statues."
Subsequently, the Texas Department of State Health Services contacted the attorney general's office "with similar concerns..." Among those concerns, the memo says, are "unproven health claims" allegedly made by Mannatech about its products, "such as the ability to cure or treat cancer" and other ailments.
"The claims being made are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration, making the claims potentially in violation of both state and federal law," the memo says. "There is also concern that Mannatech does not disclose certain health risks associated with its product."

Not sure what took them so long, they should have gone after this company a long time ago. They are doing nothing more then stealing peoples money and lives selling bogus science.
