  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
  Wednesday, April 26, 2023

  PHILADELPHIA – United States Jacqueline C. Romero announced that Bien
  King, 70, of Congers, NY and Khalil King, 36, of New York, NY were
  charged by indictment with conspiracy, distribution of unregistered and
  misbranded pesticides, and interstate shipment of misbranded animal
  drugs.

  The indictment alleges that Bien King and her son, Khalil King, jointly
  operated a business called “Little City Dogs,” based in New York City.
  The defendants purchased unapproved animal drugs and pesticides,
  including ivermectin, nitenpyram, praziquantel, and fipronil, from
  various Chinese suppliers. The defendants’ Chinese suppliers routinely
  mislabeled the shipments to avoid inspection by United States Customs
  and Border Protection inspectors. According to the indictment, once the
  defendants received the shipments from China, they used various
  locations, including a Manhattan office, to mix and repackage these
  drugs and pesticides for resale to customers throughout the United
  States. According to the indictment, the defendants’ company received
  over $4,000,000 from the sale of these misbranded, unregistered, and
  unapproved pesticides and animal drugs.

  If convicted, the defendants face a maximum possible sentence of 19
  years in prison, up to 3 years of supervised release, a $1,450,000
  fine, and a $550 special assessment.

  The case was investigated by the Food and Drug Administration’s Office
  of Criminal Investigations, the Environmental Protection Agency’s
  Office of Criminal Investigations, and is being prosecuted by Assistant
  United States Attorney Christopher E. Parisi.

  An indictment, information, or criminal complaint is an accusation. A
  defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
