Summary

Bernardo Garmendia tried to fight the FDA’s decision to ban him, but the FDA said no hearing for you! He’s now permanently banned from working with any drug companies because he was convicted of a serious crime related to drug approval. This ban is official and starts now, meaning no more drug-related work for Garmendia ever again.

Permanent ban from drug-industry work

The FDA has permanently debarred Bernardo Garmendia from providing services in any capacity to any person that has an approved or pending drug product application under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The Agency denied his request for a hearing because he failed to submit information sufficient to create a basis for a hearing, and the debarment is based on his federal felony conviction related to drug development or approval.
