A FLORIDA businessman, Jianguo Zhong, owner of Zhong Supply LLC, has been charged in the US District Court in Orlando with illegally introducing a misbranded hazardous material into interstate commerce.
According to the US Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General (DOT-OIG) Zhong is alleged to have offered in April last year 5,983 bottles of Coppertone aerosol spray, a hazardous material, to a third-party freight forwarder for shipment to China.
Zhong violated shipping regulations by repackaging the material in unmarked containers, relabelling the shipment as lotion and lip balm, and rewrapping the containers with black shrink-wrap to disguise the actual contents, investigators said.
DOT-OIG said it conducted the investigation with assistance from Homeland Security Investigations and the Federal Aviation Administration.
