In October 2011, Avon disclosed that the company was being formally investigated in the U.S. whether it bribed officials in foreign countries.

This came after Avon’s internal investigation into corruption in a number of countries like Argentina, Brazil, India, Japan and China and found evidences of possible illegal conducts.

Avon announced in late 2014 that it had finally settled charges by the U.S. authorities that arose from this multi-year bribery probe, agreeing to pay $135 million.
