294. Adulteration and misbranding of Endiphrin Inhalant.    U. S. v. 24 Bottles
of Endiphrin Inhalant.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.
(F. D. C. No. 2330.    Sample No. 4639-E.)
This product contained only two-thirds of the amount of epinephrine hydro-
chloride declared on the label.
On July 12, 1940, the United States attorney for the Northern District of
Illinois filed a libel against 24 bottles of Endiphrin Inhalant at Chicago, 111.,
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about
May 23, 1940, by the Harrower Laboratories, Inc., from Glendale, Calif.; and
charging that it was adulterated and misbranded.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that its strength differed from
that which it purported or was represented to possess, namely: (Carton) "A
1 per cent solution of epinephrine hydrochloride"; (bottle) "Epinephrine Solution
1:100."
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the above-quoted statements were
false and misleading as applied to an article which contained only 0.67 percent
(1/150) of epinephrine hydrochloride.
On October 21, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
