Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	As previously disclosed, the Company, certain of its officers, FVA Ventures, Inc. (“FVA”), ViSalus Holdings, LLC, ViSalus and one of its Founders were named as defendants in a putative class action filed in federal district court in Connecticut on behalf of purchasers of the Company's common stock during the period March to November 2012. On June 3, 2013, the Company and the other defendants moved to dismiss the then-operative amended complaint. In lieu of responding to the motion to dismiss, on June 24, 2013 plaintiff filed a second amended complaint, which is currently operative and names as defendants the Company, certain of its officers, ViSalus Holdings, LLC, ViSalus, and a ViSalus co-founder/promoter. The second amended complaint, which seeks unspecified damages and asserts violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, alleges certain misstatements and omissions by certain defendants, including concerning ViSalus's operations and prospects, and further alleges that certain defendants engaged in a fraudulent or deceptive “scheme.” On August 2, 2013, the Company and the other defendants filed a memorandum of law in support of our motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. On September 12, 2013, plaintiff filed a memorandum of law opposing defendants’ motion to dismiss its second amended complaint, and on October 3, 2013 the Company and the other defendants filed a reply memorandum in support of our motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted against it and it intends to defend itself vigorously. The Company is also involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, which, in our opinion, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, including the putative class action described in the first paragraph.
