A federal judge in Trenton has enjoined two New Jersey companies from distributing unapproved injectable skin-whitening drugs and other pharmaceuticals, according to an announcement from the U.S. Department of Justice.

The two companies, Flawless Beauty of Ocean Township and Asbury Park and RDG Imports of Asbury Park, and their two principals, Jack Gindi and Susana Boleche, had entered into a consent decree with the department's Consumer Protection Branch.

The injunction, signed by U.S. District Judge Peter Sheridan, permanently enjoins the companies from distributing unapproved and misbranded drugs in violation of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. In addition, the injunction requires the defendants to recall and destroy all of their unapproved injectable skin-whitening drugs, the DOJ said in the release.
