192. Misbranding   of  infra-red  lamps.     U.   S.   v.   5  Infra-Red  Lamps.     Default
decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 1343.    Sample No.
64982-D.)
This product consisted of a metal goose-neck table model reflector lamp
fitted with a heating unit.
On January 12, 1940, the United States attorney for the Southern District
of Ohio filed a libel against five infra-red lamps at Cincinnati, Ohio, alleging
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about December
28, 1939, by the F. C. Hermann Co. from Chicago, 111.; and charging that it was
misbranded. The article was labeled in part: "No. 21 Doctorheat Table Model
Infra Red Lamp."
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the representations in the labeling
regarding its use in the treatment of arthritis, asthma, boils, bronchitis, cold
in chest, cold in^head, earache, influenza, insomnia, neuritis, painful menstru-
ation, pleurisy, pneumonia, sinus trouble, and sore throat, were false and mis-
leading since the said article would have no therapeutic value beyond that
produced by its warming effect and would not constitute an adequate treatment
for the disease conditions named.
On March 15, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the article was ordered destroyed.
