A federal whistleblower protected under OSHA Section 11(c) is being silenced through Harris County courts that appear to favor corporate interests. Represented by attorney Greg Deans of Deans-Stepp Law, Bayport Laboratories-linked to global beauty giant K

A federal whistleblower case in Harris County has exposed how multinational beauty manufacturer KDC/One, through its subsidiary network including Bayport Laboratories, has used the courts to suppress accountability. Represented by Greg Deans of Deans-Stepp Law in Dallas, Bayport's CEO Yaumara Camacho has waged a retaliatory campaign against a former employee who reported unsafe working conditions-an employee later granted protection under Section 11(c) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
Despite federal protection, local courts have enabled a corporate-driven injunction that forbids the whistleblower from discussing her experience or continuing her complaints-orders that directly conflict with federal law. The case reveals how Harris County's judiciary has allowed procedural manipulation to override constitutional and statutory safeguards.
Evidence shows Bayport, part of a complex chain tied to HCT Packaging, BL Holdings, and KDC/One, manufactures beauty products for global brands while hiding behind layers of shell ownership. Consumer complaints nationwide describe contamination, mislabeling, and ingredient inconsistencies. Yet instead of addressing these safety concerns, Bayport and its attorneys have weaponized litigation to intimidate a disabled, low-income whistleblower into silence.
The Harris County Attorney's Office has also delayed or denied Texas Public Information Act disclosures tied to the case, raising alarms about transparency and local complicity. Federal protections mean little when local systems align with corporate influence.
This conflict now stands as a stark example of how multinational corporations exploit fragmented jurisdiction, judicial complacency, and public apathy to erase accountability-leaving a single worker to bear the cost of telling the truth.
