Young Living Essential Oils will pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for illegally trafficking wood oil from overseas, a federal judge ruled Monday.
The company was sentenced to pay $760,000 as part of a plea agreement, after it conducted an internal investigation and voluntarily reported its own illegal activity to the government.
The company, headquartered in Lehi, admitted in court that it had trafficked rosewood oil and spikenard oil without permits, according to a news release from the U.S. Department of Justice.
“The company didn‘t live up to our standards in this instance,” the company said in a statement this week.
