P&G Awarded $19.25 Mln Against Amway Distributors

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Procter & Gamble Co. (PG.N: Quote, Profile) said on Monday a jury awarded it $19.25 million after finding that four Amway distributors had spread false rumors about the company to advance their own business.

The verdict was handed down on Friday in U.S. district court in Salt Lake City, Utah, according to Procter & Gamble.

Procter & Gamble said it took related legal action last year against several companies for infringement of trade dress and trademarks, as well as false advertising, relating to some of its brands.
