⚖️FDA Debarment Order Against Jonathan Corbett Cosie
Jonathan Corbett Cosie: Final Debarment Order
Summary
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing an order under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) debarring Jonathan Corbett Cosie for a period of 10 years from importing or offering for import any drug into the United States. FDA bases this order on a finding that Mr. Cosie was convicted of two felony counts under Federal law for introducing misbranded drugs into interstate commerce with the intent to defraud and mislead. The factual basis supporting Mr. Cosie's conviction, as described below, is conduct relating to the importation into the United States of a drug or controlled substance. Mr. Cosie was given notice of the proposed debarment and was given an opportunity to request a hearing to show why he should not be debarred. As of January 6, 2025 (30 days after receipt of the notice), Mr. Cosie had not responded. Mr. Cosie's failure to respond and request a hearing constitutes a waiver of his right to a hearing concerning this matter.
