Kenneth Zipperer: Final Debarment Order

Issuing agencies

Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing an order under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) debarring Kenneth Zipperer for a period of 5 years from importing or offering for import any drug into the United States. FDA bases this order on a finding that Mr. Zipperer was convicted of one felony count under Federal law relevant to these debarment proceedings for mail fraud. The factual basis supporting Mr. Zipperer's conviction, as described below, is conduct relating to the importation into the United States of a drug or controlled substance. Mr. Zipperer 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 March 30, 2022 (30 days after receipt of the notice), Mr. Zipperer had not responded. Mr. Zipperer's failure to respond and request a hearing constitutes a waiver of his right to a hearing concerning this matter.
