Events Manager Sues Herbalife Europe Over Pool Injury at Company Party

Her lawsuit over injuries from a broken-glass accident at a June farewell gathering in Mauritius is set for trial later this year.

Overview

  • Chloe Hewitt alleges that at a June 4 2022 Herbalife-organized farewell party in Mauritius she was thrown into a resort pool by intoxicated colleagues and cut her foot on broken glass.
  • She claims the accident caused nerve damage requiring two operations and ongoing physiotherapy, leaving her with lasting pain, stiffness, and loss of sensation.
  • Hewitt is seeking more than £250,000 in damages from Uxbridge-based Herbalife Europe for failing to ensure adequate safety measures and security at the event.
  • Herbalife Europe denies responsibility, arguing the incident occurred after the official event ended during an independent after-party when Hewitt was off duty.
  • The High Court action is ongoing and is expected to proceed to a full trial later in 2025.
