Gabriel Letizia, Jr, the Owner/Executive Director of AMA Laboratories, Inc, was arrested today for a 30 YEAR, multi-million$ fraud scheme regarding reporting false lab tests.

AMA Labs tested consumer products such as cosmetics, sunscreens & other products for other companies.
Other companies would hire AMA Laboratories to do their own clinical, safety, and efficacy testing of those various consumer products.

Here is their website:

amalabs.com
Here's an overview of their services from their site:
They claimed to specialize in SPF testing to help companies determine which SPF rating they should assign to their sunscreens.

So, which sunscreens weren't properly tested?

They also claim to test for safety and hypoallergenic claims of cosmetics:

AMA also claims to be an "approved FDA testing lab."

I wonder if that claim is true. I'll have to dig more to see if I can find out.

Welp, I just started looking for any FDA connections and found this chemist's forum where people were talking about workign w/ AMA, AMA's records seizures, and the now-arrested CEO once saying he was suing his techs for false testing.

Hmm, I'm not sure what this site is or if this is legit, but it mentions something about a 2011 FDA SPF testing rule. Maybe they tested something and just claimed they followed the rules?

LOL...found a Dec 2017 article about when they were raided by the FBI and AMA claimed that agents "acted in bad faith."

2 former AMA employees pleaded guilty last month to rigging AMA test results and Letizia had blamed it all on the employees & claimed to have no knowledge of the fraud, but the employees must have turned over receipts, LOL.

Hmm, it seems you can't look up companies that are FDA registered for testing cosmetics. Wonder why 🤔
