14. Misbranding- of Barmidon Tablets.     TJ. S. v. 7 Bottles of Barmidon Tablets.
Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. Nos. 104, 105.
Sample Nos. 58666-D, 58667-D.)
This product contained barbital and aminopyrine (dimethyl-amino-antipyrine).
Its labeling recommended that it be taken in the dosage of 1 to 2 tablets, to
be repeated as required and that it be administered cautiously under a physi-
cian's supervision. It would be dangerous to health when used in the dosage
or with the frequency so prescribed, recommended, or suggested. Its labeling
also failed to reveal facts material with respect to consequences which might
result from its use under the conditions of use prescribed therein.
On December 22, 1938, the United States attorney for the Southern District
of Ohio filed a libel against 7 bottles, containing 2,600 Barmidon Tablets, at
Dayton, Ohio; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com-
merce by Endo Products, Inc., from New York, N. Y., on or about October 26
and November 25, 1938; and charging that it was misbranded for the reasons
stated above.
The libel alleged that the article was also misbranded in violation of the
Food and Drugs Act of 1906, reported in notice of judgment No. 30882 published
under that act.
On February 8, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
