Bayport Laboratories PR Stunt Masks Federal Investigation & More

S For Story/10670316
HOUSTON - s4story -- Bayport Laboratories, LLC's recent public relations campaign paints a glossy picture of "innovation, trust, and ethical leadership." But the reality—documented in federal records, public court filings, and ongoing whistleblower investigations—tells a very different story.

As Bayport's co-founders Angle and Yaumara Camacho take to the press to "set the record straight," the company is fighting for its corporate reputation in the courtroom, not the laboratory. Bayport faces a federal whistleblower investigation, accusations of retaliatory litigation, and a growing chorus of legal experts and advocates demanding accountability.

Federal Investigation: Whistleblower Protections Triggered by Unsafe Practices
Former employee Milagros Garcia, a seasoned supervisor in Bayport's cosmetics production facility, filed a formal complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The allegations are serious: product contamination with blood and glass, ingredients mislabeling, unsanitary conditions (including incidents of human feces on the factory floor), machine safety hazards, and retaliation against workers who raised concerns.

Just days later, OSHA granted Ms. Garcia protection under Section 11(c) of the OSH Act, launching an active federal investigation into Bayport's practices. In an extraordinary move, Bayport's leadership fired Ms. Garcia mere hours after learning she was now a federally protected whistleblower—a fact confirmed by official correspondence from OSHA.

Bayport's Legal Retaliation: Using the Courts to Silence Critics

Within hours of Ms. Garcia obtaining whistleblower status, Bayport and CEO Yaumara Camacho, acting through high-priced legal counsel, filed for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and a sweeping lawsuit in Harris County District Court . Their demands? That Ms. Garcia and her daughter,—a non-employee and sexual assault survivor—be forced to retract their federal complaints, destroy evidence, and cease all communication with government agencies, customers, and even the press.

Such demands are not only unprecedented, but blatantly illegal under federal law. Federal statutes strictly prohibit any employer from interfering with whistleblower complaints, destroying evidence, or seeking state court orders to override federally protected activity.

Court Abuse and Contradictory Claims

Despite claims in Bayport's PR of "operational excellence," their court filings tell another story. In their lawsuit and multiple affidavits, Bayport accuses the Garcias of everything from "trade secret theft" to "civil harassment," demanding over $5 million in damages—all based on allegations that change with each filing and are directly contradicted by their own internal communications.

We call on Bayport's customers, retail partners, and industry leaders to demand immediate transparency:
  • Why are whistleblowers being sued for reporting safety violations?
  • Why was a sexual assault survivor's address filed in open court?
  • Where is the evidence for Bayport's ever-changing claims?
