U.S. Marshals, on behalf of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, seized more than $1.47 million in supplements and ingredients last month made by Premier Manufacturing Products, a Cape Coral company that produces and sells dietary supplements.
The seizure, according to a letter sent by Premier officials to the state of Florida, left the company unable to “continue to manufacture and distribute with our current business model.”
In three letters dated May 19 announcing 30 layoffs, the first of four phases of job cuts, Premier states that “the legal challenge is estimated to take well over a year if we were to succeed.”
