1. Misbranding of B. C. Headache Powders, V. S. v. 46 Dozen Packages of
D. C. Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 111.
Sample No. 25097-D.)
These powders consisted essentially of acetanilid, aspirin, caffeine, and
potassium bromide. They would be dangerous to health when used in the dosage
or with the frequency or duration prescribed, recommended, or suggested in
the labeling, which directed a dosage of one powder which might be repeated
once or twice at intervals of 3 or 4 hours if indicated. Its labeling failed to
reveal facts material with respect to the consequences which might result from
the use of the article under the conditions of use prescribed in the labeling
and failed to bear warnings against use in pathological conditions where its
use might be dangerous to health or against unsafe dosage or duration of
administration.
On or about January 4, 1939, the United States attorney for the Northern
District of Georgia filed a libel against 46 dozen packages of B. C. Headache
Powders at Atlanta, Ga.; alleging that the article had been shipped in inter-
state commerce on or about November 30, 1938, by B. C. Remedy Co. from
Durham, N. 0,; and charging that it was misbranded for the reasons appearing
above.
