Industrial Bio-Test Laboratories (IBT Labs) was an American industrial product safety testing laboratory.[1][2][3] IBT conducted significant quantities of research for pharmaceutical companies, chemical manufacturers and other industrial clients; at its height during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, IBT operated the largest facility of its kind and performed more than one-third of all toxicology testing in the United States.[4][5][6] IBT was later confirmed of engaging in extensive scientific misconduct and fraud, which resulted in the indictment of its president and several top executives in 1981 and convictions in 1983.[7][8] The revelations of misconduct by IBT Labs led to reforms in the regulation of pesticides in the United States and Canada.
