Notice
Summary
William Goldsmith is banned for 5 years from importing any drugs into the U.S. because he was convicted of selling mislabeled drugs. He didn’t respond to the FDA’s notice or ask for a hearing, so the ban is official starting August 19, 2025. This means no drug imports from him for half a decade, protecting consumers from unsafe products.
