GLOBAL HEALTH ALTERNATIVES, NATURAL HEALTH LABORATORIES, INC., NATURAL HEALTH TRENDS CORP., TROY LABORATORIES, SIR BRIAN WOLFSON, JOE GRACE AND JOHN ELDRIDGE, alleges, among other things, claims for breach of contract, misrepresentation and fraud with regards to an agreement for the Claimant's purported provision of advertising services. The Complaint seeks compensatory damages of approximately $145,000 as well as unspecified general, special and punitive damages, costs and interest, and a preliminary injunction enjoining the defendants named in the Complaint, and others, from disposing of their assets other than in the ordinary and necessary course of business, and also from using any other advertising agency other than Claimant.
