What state is the MLM domiciled in?
What state does the MLM do business in?

I assume that the MLM you are in is not a member of the DSA.
If it is, then you can file a complaint with the DSA stating that the
MLM is violating the DSA Code of ethics. It won't mean anything,
because the DSA has publicly admitted that:
* None of its members are in compliance with that code;
* They do not expect any of their members to be in compliance with that
code;
* It does not have the ability to enforce that code;
* It does not have inclination to enforce that code;

Unless the contract you signed specifies that you must seek arbitration,
do not do so. Where MLMs are concerned, arbitration is one sided --- in
favor the of the MLM. Justice and arbitration are mutually exclusive
terms, when it comes to MLMs.

The points to make depend upon the contract that you signed with the
MLM. It does no good citing California law, and Ninth District Case
law, if your MLM is in Florida, or the Second District.

If the MLM is located in Texas, and you have had your product for less
than one year. Return it to the company, and get proof of delivery.
They are legally obliged to refund a _minimum_ of 90% [At least one
court suggests that that amount is unreasonably low.]

If they fail to refund your money within 90 days, you can file criminal
charges against the individual who signed for the return of the
merchandise, and civil charges against the company.

You'd need to talk to an attorney about that. It depends upon the
contract you signed with the MLM, the laws in the state that it is
domiciled in, and the laws of the state that you are in.
