173. Adulteration of IVC A B D G Capsules.    V. S. v. 46,000 A B D G Capsules.
Default   decree   of  condemnation  and  destruction.     (F.  D.   C.  No.   1886.
Sample No. 58345-D.)
This product contained fewer units of vitamins A, Bi, and D than it was
represented to contain.
On April 26, 1940, the United States attorney for the Southern District of
California filed a libel against 46,000 capsules at San Diego, Calif., alleging
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about September
13, 1939, by the International Vitamin Corporation from Brooklyn, N. Y.; and
charging that it was adulterated.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that its strength differed from
that which it was represented to possess in that it was represented to contain
50 International Units of vitamin Bi, 945 International Units of vitamin D, and
10,000 International Units of vitam A per capsule; whereas it contained not more
than 25 International Units of vitamin Bi, not more than 800 International
Units of vitamin D, and less than 10,000 International Units of vitamin A per
capsule.
On June 12, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
